What like to do if have a couple normal meals withe the family , generally my son has a couple buddies stay the night Friday nights so we'll grill some burgers and hotdogs of have pizza then I make breakfast Saturday morning which is eggs bacon and either biscuits and gravy or waffles. I don't over indulge on these meals at all or try to "carb up" just try to maintain some normalcy in the family.
I don't take in many carbs in my day to day eating , even when "growing phase" 100g-150g a day is normal for me. I just feel better on a higher fat high protein diet.
As I get closer to a competition I'll have a carb day where I'll replace all my fat calories (and some protein) with carbs from sweet potatoes for a couple meals then white rice and jam for the rest , this helps me get an idea how fast I fill up and spill over leading into a show.
I've tried to diet on higher carbs and lower fat and what I find is I have to have significantly less calories and do cardio to keep the fat coming off , that combined with not feeling as well just doesn't make any sense for me to try to use carbs as a fuel
