How Many Carbs to Lose Bodyweight

How many carbs to lose weight is something which is commonly asked. We have always been told that to become successful at something find good role models that are already great at what you want to be successful at. Yourself these people or this person, mimic their behavior and actions. By doing so you will reap the same benefits that they did. That brings me to weight lifters.

Bodybuilders are not the best role model for everyone muscle wise, and maybe sometimes they take their body fat just way too low. However, everyone can learn and mimic the actions of bodybuilders to decrease body fat and improve body composition. It's true that the art of bodybuilding or body building is literally obtaining the best leanest body formula. So even though we might not want to resemble a strength athlete, especially one at its best, we can learn a great deal from how bodybuilders eat and exercise to achieve a much better fat to muscle ratio. After all they are the best at it. The question remains so, just how many carbs to lose weight?

Most Bodybuilders

Most bodybuilders - that I have studied consume a 40, 40, 20 split of carbs, protein, and fat. 40% carbohydrates, 40% protein, and 20% fat. This split does work, and I say that from experience. This is usually the split i do when trying to have a lean look. To figure out your 40, 45, 20 split you first have to figure out how many calories you should be using a day. Then take that number and take 40, 40, 20 percent from that number respectively. Afterwards you divide the number you get for carbs by 4 because there are 4 calories in every gram of carbs.

This is important to exercise if you would like to be able to eat more carbs without hitting spillover. Spillover is a huge no no when trying to lose weight with carbs. This occurs when you're human body's carb "gas tank" contains large amount and stores any extra carbs as fat. By simply exercising your body requirements more carbs to be used in the muscles.
