I couldn't imagine my diet being 50% carbs. I would gain 5 pounds a week. I eat less than 50g of carbs per day most days and generally stay under 80-100 regularly. Even on days I ride. I have not noticed a difference in my performance or recovery from my high carb days versus my low carb days. And I don't gain weight, other than muscle. I've really leaned out on low carb. Instead of stuffing my face with carb products after riding, I usually sleep. If I actually am hungry (rare for me now for usually 6 hours after a ride) I eat en egg or something that protein/fat only. Haven't died from it yet!
