Semper PMd me and Im gonna copy and paste my answer here for the sake of clarification and to keep the discussion going. This isnt about whats going to burn fat its about whats going to preserve muscle while I come off cycle without going into a caloric surplus.
. My protein is too high to get me into ketosis. My body is going to make its own glucose through gluconeogenesis. My carbs are at 70 grams most days. I could get away with 100g, but Im instead using that massive energy supply of fat. I actually train fasted and wait about an hour after training to eat my meal which us 55g pro and 40g slow carbs. As much as cutting fat is a priority, so is preserving muscle. Now 40g of carbs do not refill glycogen stores. But the insulin spike combined with the alkalinity brought on by the veggies in the meal come together to stop the muscle breakdown. Some gkycogen is replenished and by the end of the night my blood sugar is lowered again and shifting back to using fat as fuel. I back load my carbs so they are only eaten post workout. The training and both cardio sessions are therefore fueled by fat.
