The number of Carbs to Lose Weight

How many carbs to lose weight is something which is commonly 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 doing so you will reap the same benefits that they did. Of which brings me to weight lifters.

Bodybuilders are not the best role model for everyone muscle wise, and maybe sometimes they get their body fat just much 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 attaining the best leanest body structure. So even though we might not want to resemble a bodybuilder, especially one on steroids, we can learn a lot 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 how many carbs to lose weight?

Most Weight lifters

Most bodybuilders - that I have studied take in a 40, 40, 20 split of carbs, necessary protein, and fat. 40% carbohydrates, 40% protein, and 20% fat. This split 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, forty, 20 split you first have to determine how many calories you should be using a day. Then take the number of and take 45, 40, 20 percent from that number respectively. Later on you divide the amount you get for carbs by 4 because there are 4 calories in every gram of carbs.

That 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. It occurs when you're body's carb "gas tank" contains large amount and stores any extra carbs as fat. Simply by exercising your body requirements more carbs to be used in the muscles.
