Carbs or Good fats?

[ROCKETW19]

I have been doing more intence cardio in the past month or so and I seem to be loosing even more muscle.
Would you guys say increase my healty fats or carbs to help save some muscle? right now my guess is im on a 60-20-20 maybe even less with the carbs.
I dont have a heart rate monitor but id guess it to be around 150-180 for about 2 hours. Thats running sprints, jogging, bag work, thai pads, knee sparring, grapling.

this is part of the problem bro. you need to know what you are taking in so you can adjust when your body is losing or gaining..

Ya I never realy counted carbs I just went with a feel for it when I was into the bodybuilding thing. Now I am more towards being a cardio machine (for fighting) and it is very different than what I am used to. I need more fuel and not sure if I should get it from carbs or fats? I have my diet posted here witch has changed a bit. I have cals and protien numbers but never bothered to add up the carb or fat numbers. I am gonna add these numbers up and post them tonight.

what you posted above does not tell me what your eating in detail. for example, it says "dinner?". lmao

but if i had to guess i would say for your type of program you need more complex carbs.

you really need to take the time to break down carbs, fats, and proteins though.

once you give me this info i will respond. :)

not "Rocket" science rocket. :D

You may be able to counteract a lot of this with more complex carbs DURING exercise - likely in the form of replenishing muscle glycogen through "gatorade-like" substances...

See if Nekra or SC can add on this - it has been working for me and others I know - they just may be able to shed more light on the facts/science behind it....

I'm not 100% on this but is it possible that your body is trying to change because of the intensity and duration of your training........ regardless of your diet.

that protein/ carb / fat count = 4193 total cals. not sure where you got 3450.

if your protein/carb/fat breakdown is correct i dont know what to tell you. you are gettin plenty of carbs and fat.
