My carb sources dont really change. I always try and get most if not all my carbs from low gi sources. Only time i consume a high gi carb is pwo. This is usually waxymaize starch/corn flour.

Then during the day wether bulking or carb cycling my carbs tend to come from oats, jacket potatoes, sweet potatoes, brown bread occasionally and brown rice flour.

Precontest or some phase of it: Rice, Veggies, and the re-feed day.

Offseason, or growing season: Rice, Oatmeal, Veggies, Ezekiel bread (I like it toasted with some Natty PB) and some whole grain bread, Ppan on adding some fruits back in there in moderation, cheat meals

, Some cereal (Special K Protein Plus), Sweet potatoes.

Mine never change... green veggies, rice, oats, yams, ezekiel bread. I'll through some fruit (bananas, raisins, berries) in during the offseason but that's about it.

oh wow so from offseason to pre-contest they are the same huh bro..just change macros, supps and training? Is that right? Im trying to learn more about the transition from one phase to another

Training pretty much stays the same too. I still make gains until about 5-6 weeks out. As far as nutrition... I carb cycle so the only major changes are how many High days I have.
