What kind of carb cycling are you planning on? CKD, TKD, perhaps your own? Either way

More important then your meal by meal break down is your over all macro counts per day, and how many days you go between carb ups. How you set this up will depend alot on how your body deals with carbs.

Going off the assumption that you are a lot like me, and your body is very carb sensitive, you will want to slowly back your carbs down from your normal intake, till your around 100-150g aday. As you go you can adjust accordingly to what your body is telling you.

I wouldnt go more then 7 days before you have a carb up day, and I would definately throw in a depletion workout the morning of your carb up.

Have you done any carb cycling before? If not some things to watch out for:

You will feel grogy and sluggish for the first few days before your body gets used to being in ketosis. This will pass with time.

It may take a while for your body to make the conversion to ketones, the best way to speed the process, IMO, is to help clear blood glucose using a sesamin product.

After you have reached your goals, your body will no longer be used to burning carbs, you will need to ramp your carb intake back up slowly or you will begin to store glucose again righ off the bat.
