Could someone tell me if what I put together is a good meal plan for carb cycling? I want Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday to be my higher carb days to match my gym days. Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday would be my rest, low carb days. If you think something needs to be swapped, please let me know. I tried to do this based on my own research so it may need some help 😂 TIA!! (sorry for weird formatting, I had a picture of my meal calendar, but can’t post pics here!)

The actual food should not matter to much.
Just look at the macros instead, of course, exceptions exist if the food is really unhealthy or processed but with alright or even good macros.
But generally you’ll probably be fine.
