How Many Carbs to Lose Bodyweight
How many carbs to lose weight is something which is usually asked. I've 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. Once you find these people or this person, mimic their behavior and actions. By simply doing so you will reap the same benefits that they did. Of which brings me to body building.
Bodybuilders are not the best role model for everyone muscle wise, and maybe sometimes they get 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. Please be advised that, that the art of bodybuilding or body sculpting is literally reaching the best leanest body composition. So even though we might not exactly want to resemble a weight lifter, especially one on steroids, we can learn a great deal from how bodybuilders eat and exercise to achieve an improved fat to muscle ratio. After all they are the best at it. The question remains so, just how many carbs to lose weight?
Most Weight lifters

This split really works, and I say that from experience. This is usually the split that I do when trying to have a lean look. To find out your 40, 45, 20 split you first have to figure out how many calories you should be having a day. Then take the number of and take 40, 40, 20 percent from that number respectively. Later on you divide the quantity you get for carbs by 4 because there are 4 calories in every gram of carbs.
This is important to exercise if you wish 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 system's carb "gas tank" contains large amount and stores any extra carbs as fat. By simply exercising your body needs more carbs to be used in the muscles.
