Okay I've been lifting weights for about 3 months now and am about to start the Beginner program from Book of Muscle. (skipping week 1-3 since I got some time under my belt)

I do this Mon-Wed-Fri

on Tue and Thu I do 1.5 hours of Kickboxing.

on Saturdays I do some HIIT and Abs.

Now "Adam's Diet" is a low-carb one. From my understanding, it's okay to consume carbs in my before and after workout shakes as long as that's the only time, correct?

Now how does this work for Kickboxing? Since it's mostly cardio (though I control myself so as not to start burning muscle), should I also take some carbs before so I can have energy? Or can the fats I eat before (clean fats of course) provide me with the energy I need?
