What would you suggest for a competitive athlete who needs to eat 4000-5000 calories per day who are in intense training for their sport they compete in? If you suggest no more than 250 grams carbs I would have a hard time believing anything you say again.@RoidRage69 so what? you dont need that many carbs even if you train hard. I have 2 MMA guys and 1 Boxing guy, they are training daily 300 grams protein 250 grams of carbs so no issues.
