Any clue what your overall calorie intake is?

Also, are you getting enough fats? Low fat intake can cause issues on low carb diets. You might be getting enough but I thought I would mention it.

Calories and fat are going to be two biggies. It also has helped me to have a few whey shakes during the day along with BCAAs.

not sure how many cals. my first meal was 8 eggs, 2 waffles w/syrup, piece of poundcake, glass of oj and a heaping bowl of cheerios. i generally have a lb of chicken and a bunch of sweet potato or rice.

going to have a shake soon.

on off days i cut carbs and increase fats

Sounds like you're eating plenty.

This is very interesting to me as you seem to be alternating Squat and bench, OHP and Deadlift. I want to do that cycle too.

Very interested in your success. Good luck buddy!
