My go-to MC was Max Cat Venison or duck. It's 8 or 9%, which is really high LC,

Hmmm. Never tried that one. I like the %. I'll see if Taffy likes!

adding something HC or MC that Taffy likes to his raw food to bump up the carbs. I do that with Uncle at every AMPS and PMPS.

So you give the carb bump at his main meals (preshot meals) but not the mid-cycle snacks? I really need to do some refresher reading on how non FD bodies work and what goes wrong in our FD kitties, etc. I have never quite wrapped my mind around this enough to know just what to do all of the time (other than as indicated by testing). I think trying to sterr Taffy with food will mean me having a stronger understanding.

Keeping track of what works will be really helpful. I got that advice early on and it's been major!

Yes, I got that advice, as well, but I am just LAZY!!! (Actually, I was overwhelmed.) I do make some notes in my handwritten notebook, but not as easy to refer back.

Sometimes I will give him a zero carb snack.
I'll do that if it's later in the cycle (after nadir) and I'm not needing to steer him up, sometimes I'll give him zero carbs too if I know he's bouncing after pre-shot.


I'm quite sure you're not lazy! I just type his food notes at the far left column of the SS when steering has been needed. I do it at the same time when I enter the latest test number I got so it's just done and I don't have to make a big deal out of it.

Thanks, but I sort of am. :p I mainly blame my laptop, though. I am not a fan of spreadsheets, in general, and I think it is annoying to maneuver in it on my laptop. So, I just do the minimum. I would like to be awesome and jot down all foods, supplements, etc. ok, I'll start NOW!!!:joyful: (We'll see how long this lasts.)
 
My laptop is old and a PIA, always stalling out, spinning beach ball (MAC) etc. but it beats writing stuff down that I'll never find again. I have scraps of paper all over the place.
