Is that something I should even be thinking about? My thought is, I want to deplete myself of glycogen as much as possible before backloading again so that I won't have carbs on top of a bunch of carbs. So, I've been doing hiit on the stationary bike for 20min on my lunch break and then doing about 45min of weightlifting in the evening. Is it really necessary to have those stores as low as possible before another backload? Im only having 90-110g of carbs on my backload since Im a 128lb female….I've only really seen discussion of depletion on CNS so I'm thinking im concerned about something that isn't relevant.
It's relevant for CBL, probably more so than for CNS.However, worrying about it is probably misplaced energy. Just focus on training hard with decent intensity and volume and you should be good.

+1Most people who over-analyze the diet like that do not tend to do well. If you are not getting results, it's most likely related to your overall caloric load. 90-110 g of carbs is not that much for an active person. Even if that active person is a 128 lb female. How often do you train? If it's everyday, I'd recommend reducing it to 3 or 4 times per week. Assuming you don't drop the volume too much, your training density will increase and I think CBL works much better for most people that way.

Yeah, I kinda figured I was thinking About crap that didn't matter lol.I'm planning on 3-5 times a week, generally just once a day though. I just have had the time to do hiit training during the day since I'm working days for the next few weeks. Last night I had about 150-160g carbs and didn't notice any additional bloating or anything this morning. So should I stick with that for a bit since there didn't appear to be any bad reactions?

Might as well.Biggest thing is stay consistent-ish, and track progress. Then you can easily make adjustments to get progress moving again when it stalls.

Thanks for the advice! So I did the 150-160ish friday and the same sunday and still no severe bloating or anything so I guess Im good staying there. If I notice fat gain, then I can reduce it. Is it true that if you wake up starving, you didn't have enough carbs?
