I prefer to go high on carbs(average 280 a day on a cut). I feel better, look fuller and sleep like a baby eating a large bowl of cereal before bed. Copied and pasted from bodybuilding.com: "Macronutrient Intake Make sure that your diet meets the minimum protein and fat intake. Protein minimum: 0.7 gram per pound of bodyweight (or target/ideal weight in the obese). (for optimal body building purposes and during energy deficit higher intakes may provide additional benefits.) Fat minimum: 0.4 gram per pound of bodyweight (or target/ideal weight in the obese). Remaining caloric budget: whatever mix of macronutrients you prefer and/or allows you to perform and feel well. Some people do better on a higher carb intakes while other people do better on moderate or lower carb intakes. It is not necessary to set a specific numbers for each macro, what matters is that the total calories, minimum fat and protein are achieved." 

I am not in your ballywick, but a nice grilled ribeye with a pat of butter would definitely fill my bill.  

Sounds good man I'm curious to see how bulking works on low carb. I personally would keep calories the same every day. I like simple. Alan Aragon and other nutrition experts suggest having 4 protein feedings per day to optimize muscle protein synthesis. 

Dude, your meal standardization your diet set-up are tighter than anyone I have seen on here, and tighter than most overall. My only counsel would be to make sure your lifting is focused on progressive overload, monitor your strength progress, and tweak your diet only if needed. To me, if needed means at least two back to back misses on the same lift, with rest, hydration, and electrolytes on point. When tweaking, I would adjust one thing at a time. and give it a week or so before adjusting anything else. 

@chris Have you checked out r/ketogains on reddit?  

Great information, I am going to need it soon, Chrisw I do want to eat that bowl of cereal for you jaja . Diablo what about eating more corn tortillas , beans and rice instead of the cereal  

The funny thing is that when I was not dieting I did not eat cereal 🙄. Come on! I had so much variety of food in my kitchen that in my stomach there was no space for cereal, now I have cravings for all tipe of food 😐🐖 

@chris (#2) Heard. I do the same. Drop 10% after the 3rd miss. I had this back-off/penalty protocol I picked up running Squat Every Day a couple years back that I just added to my current program behind misses. Its brutal and considerable motivation to not miss. Only 3rd miss I've had this run was on deads, and that was 8 days fasted when I couldn't even get the bar off the floor. Deloaded anyway...just procrastinating squatting at this point...
