” I know that I am not going to be hungry during my training because protein is there. Then I’m going to be a bit more restrictive. My body will not crave carbohydrates and fat as much as it does normally because I crave a lot of carbs and fat.
If I manage to get that protein level up, then the other is a lot easier. When I’m in a bulk, I normally try and eat between 2500-3000 calories, and when I’m in a cut, below that. I know that more or less my normal calorie intake a day is 2500, “ said Carlos.
