I weight train every 2nd day and cycle or row most every day.

I am approaching my goal weight, i plan on going 4 -5 kg's lower and then
work up to sustainable weight
At that point decrease the aerobics and increase the resistance training
more - Squats - Deadlifts - Bench - Chins.

As the resistance training increases should carb content should also
increase, i want to build muscle - So more leafy greens, berries etc would
seem to be right?

Cheers CW

Sounds like a good plan. Increase the carbs to the level that promotes
growth. I don't think greens and berries will be enough, but it depends.
You'll probably have to add in some complex carbs, at least.

It is up to you. whatever you feel you have to do you should do it.
If you work hard and find yourself feeling very tired and empty energy wise,
then try and increase your carb count, while sticking to lower fats and lean
proteins.

I am now eating between 175-200g of carbs, and I work very hard at the gym,
I have not gained any weight, and have lost 1 inch on my waist.
I started to increase carb counts because it became almost impossible to
work in the gym without feeling like I wanted to collapse on my bed and
sleep right afterwards when eating the very lc WOE... I now enjoy whole
grains, veggies, and other things that have carbs, but because I work out, I
do not gain weight, and have good energy levels.

As long as you continue to work hard, eat the right low GI type foods, and
watch calories and fats, you should be fine increasing carbs. As for whether
you want to increase more salad greens or wheat carbs, that is your choice.
I personally cannot go with salads alone. They have lots of fiber (which
doesn't count as carbs), and I would have to eat a ton for what I personally
need for my energy needs.

Why not experiment, and see what you need for yourself?

He might as well, as he couldn't get much worse off than following your
lead.
