Too Many Experts!

For the 5th time in just about as many days or at least since the beginning of the month,  I have moved my macro intake around.  I thought I read high carbs on cardio days but that is not true.  High carb on weight days is the newest information I read on bodybuilding.com.  Now, I don’t want to build like a body builder but I want to lean out.  There are simply way too many articles about what to do and how to do it and different reasonings by half a trillion “experts” and I am seriously overwhelmed.  I’m trying to find my happy medium so here is where I’m at this week.  I found a carb cycling plan on BB.com where you decrease for 3 days then increase for two days.  I married that to the info( also found on that site)  that says carbs for weight days and then lower them for cardio days.  I don’t want to over eat, but I know that 1300 calorie days are borderline too few for me right now since I sometimes get back from the gym with nothing left to eat for the day and end up going to bed hungry and waking up hungry too.  So right now my lowest carb day is on cardio day and is set at 1324 but just twice a week.  For now.  I want to see how a cardio day married with 1324 calories and 90 carbs works.  I’m totally willing to tweak it again based on how I feel after this last change.  I’m truly sick of adjusting so much but I want to get it right and I’m not going to pay someone to do it for me.  Why there isn’t just one formula to follow is beyond me.  I guess I just want to find my happy medium sooner than later.
