Well, I don't find it the easiest, I find eating no carbs much easier, but hey we are all different

For the Carb-loading phase, what I saw recommended was:

10-12 grams Carbs per lean kilogram of bodyweight
1g protein per lean pound of bodyweight
X grams of fat below your lean bodyweight in kilos

Do you follow a different formula to only have 400-600 grams ?

I also plan to adjust it every week, of course, that was just something to get me started which fit in
