Ive been on carb nite for a month and dont seem to notice major changes as well as a drop in the scale. 6 days a week im perfect, measure my food to the T. I’m here to ask what are people’s ideal carb nite where they are still getting results? I think I may be going overboard with mine since I am not losing a great deal of weight or at least 1lb a week.
Thanks!There are a whole number of reasons why someone might not make progress, so we’d need a little more information. To start out, here are some possibilities:
1) Going overboard on Carb Nite (as you’ve mentioned)
2) Going overboard on the other 6 days
3) Stress
4) What you think is “perfect” may not be so perfect (kind of pointed out in #2, or too much/too little of fat/protein)
5) Exercise/activity level might be too much
6) You are recomping (rare, but it’s possible)If you can give more details regarding your stats, activity level, ultra low carb day macros, Carb Nite macros, etc. it might be a little easier to identify the problem.

im 5’2 123-126lbs…I train about 5-6 days a week. My carb nites are usually one meal with a dessert and then one dessert before bed.
the other 6 days are about 126grams protein, 35grams carbs and about 75 grams fat…
Holy cow, for someone that active your macros on your ULC days are really low. That’s around 1300 kcals, and your height/weight tells me that you’re already lean. I’m not sure what you eat for your meals on Carb Nite, but I doubt you’re eating THAT much in one night to completely offset your deficit. Are you sensitive to certain foods? Inflammation from certain foods can cause weight loss to stall (or so I hear).
If I were you, I would do one of the following (in addition to any foods you think you might be sensitive to):
-Eat more on your ULC days
-Cut your training volume back
-Have a mid-week smaller refeed
-Get on the CBL wagon and just have controlled mount of carbs more frequentlyTraining Log: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1vuwHRdBaPVILxxLhXly_N1Ys66Hcwk4j-bM7nvKSLrI/edit?usp=sharing
