@Leptopns so you just carb cycle?

I kind of do this to the extent I eat high carbs or try to after intense workout and lay off carbs on a night (just get carbs in at lunch) on days off.

Proper carb cycling looks like it would make me starving!!!

Sounds like you are doing carb backloading. Carb cycling is based on a week (or whatever) cycle. IF is daily is it not?

Laying off carbs at night? That is precisely not carb backloading.

Read the entire sentence he wrote.

Simply having high carbs post workout does not equate to carb-backloading. If he eats little to no carbs pre-workout then it might be so. No one would eat carbs at lunchtime (training day or not) if carb-backloading.

Why not? I thought carb-backloading was about loading carbs after a heavy training session to replace glycogen. As to days off, I don't think it matters. It's backloading in my view if you're doing it to replace glycogen that's lost.

CBL is pretty specific- no carbs during the day and alot post work out at night, same on off days too.
