Would this be a good cutting diet/workout?

[tj]

100 carbs a day. 2 grams protein per lb. 30 grams of fat. as many low glycemic vegies as I want


workout being 4 day off 1 on, with cardio on off days.


any suggestions appreciated

Let's say you weigh 200 lbs
Proteins: 800 kcals
Fat: 270 kcals
Carbs: 400 kcals

Total: 1470 kcals.

You're going to live off on that?

Increase the amount of calories you eat, and try carb-cycling.

The true test is to try it and see.

However I wouldn't recommend it. Moderate-ish carbs + very low fats + low calories = recipe for catabolism (for most people).

I would increase fats and cycle carbs according to training needs (i.e. low carbs on offdays, more carbs on training days around the workout, maybe a few more carbs after a hard squat/deadlift session in the form of addition carb/cheat meals).

at 36 you won't be able to tolerate as many carbs as someone who is 26 unless you are fairly lean (in which case why you trying to cut? ).

But it also depends on what state of bodyfat you're at now, what you currently eat, and how you currently train.

It seems to be working pretty well. I add a carb up every fourth day at night .

Thanks everyone for the suggestions
