My only problem is I have had to change up my w/o routine. I used to do full body 3 days a week and now I feel I have to do a four day split...
Mon. up. body Tues. Low. body Wed. off Thurs. Up. body Fri. Low. body
and just not sure how many exercises per body part  ...I've been doing 2 for each so I guess I'll see how that works out.

How exactly are you cycling your carbs? Are you using a 7-day rotation?
Mon: Upper body
Tues: Lower body
Wed: Rest
Thurs: Upper body
Fri: Lower body
Sat: REST
Sun: REST
Where do your low-carb and carb-up periods fit into this training split? Your training should compliment your carb depletion and loading periods... and you'll want to include plenty of endurance work at key opportunities - times where you're releasing fats to fuel your furnace like crazy.
