55 grams of carbs seems really high. Probably not a big deal since you're only looking at one carbup meal a week in the grand scheme of things. But when you factor in all the hidden carbs in things you may use like condiments, ect - It really adds up.
Having done a full keto diet, which worked extremely well for me, I think you'll be pleased with the results. Especially energy wise. Gym performance does suffer a bit though, which is why I much prefer a TCD above all else. TCD as in not a keto due to postworkout carb feedings. BUT, according to Lyle's very comprehensive book on ketogenic dieting, you would still kick back in ketosis a few hours following the postworkout feeding IF you already made the metabolic switch from carbs to ketones. If I was to do it all over again, no doubt I'd go the first two weeks w/ under 30 grams of carbs per day (think veggies), hit the switch, then operate in postworkout feedings w/ high gi only, with one full day of carb loading.
