Tomorrow is my second carb nite. This week has not gone well on the scale. Since the last carb nite I am still up 2.8 Lbs. I do not think I did anything wrong and my diet has been good all week. So I just wanted to run my plans for carb nite tomorrow night past everyone.Would it be technically ok to start off carb nite w/ a serving of swedish fish or something easy like that to spike the insulin.My thinking was along the lines of:5:00pm - Swedish Fish or Maltodextrin7:00pm - Chicken Lo Mein or General Tso's w/ Fried Rice (Depending on who you look at this has 0 to 9g Fat)9:00pm - Spaghetti or Pizza (Should I add swedish fish or Maltodextrin to this as well?)10:30pm - Ice Cream or More Swedish Fish or MaltodextrinI think that I am looking for 400 to 500g Carbs. 6'3 / 33 / 245 / goal weight 196Thanks!

1. How do you look in the mirror/how do your clothes fit? 2. Do you exercise during the week? 3. It's only been a little over 2 weeks so you really shouldn't be too worried. 4. Most likely you didn't do anything wrong with your diet but if you are no one here can tell without seeing it. Post what you ate during the week. 5. Yes it is fine to start with swedish fish. 6. The first ingredient on swedish fish is sugar. You really should try to limit your sucrose intake as it is half glucose half fructose and high fructose intake can cause issues (I only say this because you have swedish fish 3 times in your planned CN). Maltodextrin would be better as it is a polyssacharide of glucose. 7. Spaghetti or any pasta (aside from rice flour based) isn't that ideal for insulin spiking.
Thanks for the reply. The fish were just there for a 0g Fat High Carb food.Here is my information: Exercise:I usually work out 3xWeek doing crossfit. I have jacked up my arm from a non xfit related injury so am taking the week off will hopefully at least be doing dead lifts / backsquats next week.Macros:I am 244 / 6'3 / 31% (Bodpod)Goal 195 or 10-12%Fats: .8g (156g) to Protein 1g (195g)(195*.8)*9 = 1404(195*1)*4 = 780Total = 2184 ~ 2200kCal_____________________________Diet:6:00am - Prework out C4 Extreme7:00am - xfit 8:30am - PWO shake (has Luceine)9:30am - Bullet proof coffe12:30pm - Lunch - Usually 230g Chicken Breast and Pepperoni(Can substitue w/ 1cup of spinach or broccoli w/ butter) Usually stick to pepperoni4:00pm - 4 pc Bacon 1 Hardboiled Egg & MCT Oil w. coffee6:30pm - Burger x 2 w. onion / mushroom or pork chop or eggs. always low carb try andget some fats7:30pm - Fish oil and Fiber Supplements 11:00pm - Bed _______________________________* I have 2 small children getting to bed before 11pm is really difficult* I will always tweak my food to try and hit damn close to the macros from above using myfitnesspal.* I did lose 11 lbs on the first 12 days (saved first carb nite till friday 🙂* But since then I have kept on 2.8 of the lbs i gained from my last carb nite.*****Last carb nite meals were: Instant Oatmeal -> Fajitas w/ Jasmine Rice -> Pizza -> Ice Cream (about 400g Carbs)Not really sure what else there is. Thanks again!
I should also say that my wife is doing the diet as well. Eats the same thing pretty much and has had the same outcome so far as my self.IE lost during the prep phase -> carb nite -> gained and still has not lost what she gained from last friday night.
Well the ULC stuff looks good so I would just say watch the sugar/may experiment with the amount of fats in your backload i.e. icecream pizza vs. white rice and potatoes. Otherwise I wouldn't be too concerned at this point. Give it a couple more weeks and see where you are at.

Thanks man!I ended up .2 lbs higher today than last week. But did lose .5 inch off of stomach. All in all I am ok w/ that. I just wanted to make sure everything looked ok for the carb nite at the Macro Level.I will back off on the fats tonight and see what kind of results that provides.Ill go:5:00pm - Maltodextrin7:00pm - Beef Lo Mein and crab rangoon9:00pm - Spaghetti w/ bread sticks & Maltodextrin11:00pm - Maybe Ice Cream or Maltodextrin again before bedDo you think shooting for 400 gCarbs is a good number?
