The number of Carbs to Lose Bodyweight
How many carbs to lose weight is something which is often asked. I've always been told that to become successful at something find good role models that are already effective in 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. That brings me to bodybuilders.
Bodybuilders are not the best role model for everyone muscle wise, and maybe sometimes they get their body fat just far too low. However, everyone can learn and mimic the actions of bodybuilders to decrease body fat and improve body composition. It is a fact that the art of bodybuilding or body toning is literally attaining the best leanest body structure. So even though we may well not want to resemble a strength athlete, especially one on steroids, we can learn a lot 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 just how many carbs to lose weight?
Most Body building

This split does work, and I say that from experience. This is usually the split that I do when trying to have a lean look. To figure out your 40, forty, 20 split you first have to figure out how many calories you should be using a day. Then take that number and take forty, 40, 20 percent from that number respectively. Soon after 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 need to be able to eat more carbs without hitting spillover. Spillover is a major no no when trying to lose weight with carbs. This occurs when you're body's carb "gas tank" contains large amount and stores any extra carbs as fat. By exercising your body demands more carbs to be used in the muscles.
