Cycling Your Diet And Fitness Programs For Better Health & Hormone Regulation

Many of you have asked how I cycle my diet (macro ratios) and fitness program to remain fit throughout the year. My yearly cycle has three phases: bulking (building muscle), cutting (getting ripped), and maintenance. In the following video, I explain the various macro ratios and workouts I use during each phase. Notes, discussed in the video, can be found below video.

Macro Ratios

Bulking- 1 gram protein per pound of bodyweight; 2 grams carbs per pound of bodyweight; .4 grams fat per pound of bodyweight

Example: In a 128 pound woman, she would eat 128 grams protein, 256 grams carbs, and 51 grams fat, each day.

Cutting- 1.2 grams protein per pound of bodyweight; 1 gram carbs per pound of bodyweight; 25 grams fat

Example: In a 130 pound woman, she would eat 156 grams protein, 130 grams carbs, and 25 grams fat, each day.

Maintenance- 1 gram protein per pound of bodyweight; 1.6 grams carbs per pound of bodyweight; .35 grams fat per pound of bodyweight

Example: In a 126 pound woman, she would eat 126 grams protein, 202 grams carbs, and 44 grams fat, each day.
