I was considering 160g on a high day, and 50g on a low, with fat higher by 2 tbsp of natty peanut butter. Is this okay for my size? lol-I was referring to macros.

Oh or dextrose. Basically anything that doesn't contain too much fructose. I'm a big fan of white rice, personally, but whatever starch agrees with you should do the trick. Something faster post workout obviously - dextrose in your whey shake, white rice with chiicken, something like that. Nothing wrong with grain sources if your body handles them well. You'll have to go by comfort with regard to the amount, the type and the timing though - especially given your history with seizures. Please be careful.

I generally take in 3000-3200 kcal a day on maintenance, and weigh 248 with about 17% bodyfat. I'm on cycle with 500mg f test and figure about 1.3g of protein. I'm endo-meso. I'm kind of stuck at what type of carb I should take in. Can you help me out? MA, I’m having a problem figuring out how many carbs/fat I need.

Carb isn't essential, so there's no particular requirement for it. Since carbs tend to make many of us hungry - and by "us" I mean us fatter types, I keep 'em fairly low outside the workout window, hence the carb-cycling. What are his maintenance calories?

He has 161 lbs LBM and his fats/protein come to 80g(fats)/193g (protein). I'm a little unclear on how to set up carbohydrates. How would that be worked out if he's on a cut?

As far as I can tell, normal humans go into and out of mild ketosis through the day, as fat is either stored or retrieved for energy. But check with your doctor if you're at all concerned.

You seem to know a lot about fitness and nutrition and I really need some suggestions. I am preparing for a figure competition (sooner or later!) and its not going well. My diet is super-clean and I have been working out for about 2-3 years now trying to achieve my goals. I'm interested in carb cycling trying to break my fat loss plateau... Its very frustrating doing an hour of cardio 5 days per week and lifting 5 days per week and eating chicken and brown rice and spinach everyday and getting NO results whatsoever for almost 9 months now. I was even working with a professional male bodybuilder and he trained me the past 4-5 months and I lost VERY LITTLE weight... 1/2 lb only this whole time. I don't know what I'm doing wrong and I don't know how to fix it. If you have time, I'd really like for you to email me and get in contact with me.
