haha weekly or daily chek ins? :D you're now your own client - the circle is closed- There is no further than that
what is the most amount of carbs you consumed PWO?
Yeah man! I want to look at everything subjectively on paper. Sometimes when you prep yourself you look at yourself too much and start to question leanness, flatness, ect... and then make irrational decisions.
Amount of carbs NOW in prep for this shoot? Currently 45 pre and 45 post.

irrational decisions - especially at the last few weeks of it. One days you sleep less, holding a little bit of water in the mornig, lines are blurry and you panic
it's the mind game
energy levels? and in the full blown off season when you were trying to grow?

Yup just have to take it all in and act rationally.
Energy levels are fine.
Off season around 75g pre and post and the rest of the meals 30g carbs. I do higher fats. Carbs actually make people sluggish and I have grown to hate a higher carb diet. You lower carb intake and increase fat intake you will feel TON more energy. It is all those rises and dips in blood sugar that cause varying amounts of energy during the day not to mention that midday sleepy spells people get.

yes i know that midday sleepy feeling...coffee afternoon is a must
i always wondered , what parameterse you look to determine if someone is better/worse at tolerating carbs and if he has a fast metabolism

Things to determine fast metabolism is generally having a hard time gaining weight and fat. I have a few clients that could eat 600 carbs per day with 200g of fat and not gain a thing of body weight. Generally the true "hard gainer."

is it easier to set up a diet for that kind of a person or not?
As I see it...fast/er metabolism and bodybuilding is a win win situation , you just must set up your nutrition right

A diet is simply that.. A Diet
the hardest part is understanding the correct portions and macronutrients that suit your energy, performance, and recovery.
Some people get tired off lots of carbs, so try doing a higher fat diet with keeping carbs just in the peri-workout period.
Some people bloat off higher fats, so try a lower fat higher carb diet.
The best piece of advice I can give to you is run something you think may work. Run it for 8 weeks, take notes, and then adjust
How do you look in the mirror?
What is the scale show?
How is your digestion? Are you bloated or is the food digesting properly?
HOw is your sleep?
How is your strength , performance, and endurance? Are you getting a pump when training?
If any of these things are off, then this is where you have to fine tune those small parameters to find what works best for you.
What people don't realize is bodybuilding isnt black and white. If it was we would all eat the same amount of meals, the same food sources, train the same way, do the same cardio protocol.
But guess what? It isn't that easy, everyone is different, and our bodies are constantly changing. We are ALWAYS Learning.

great point! that is why there are so many sucers for "cookie cutter diets". People just take diet from some XY and follow it like a Bible , they never think for themselve to reassess plan over certain period of time. Written diet is just a starting point
