    Funny how people are different. Potatoes, oatmeal and pasta are some of the most filling foods for me on their own. I only add other things to them for variety, while for things like meat and poultry it's not a meal and it's not filling unless I have something carby with it.

    Yeah, when it comes to things like how macros affect you I always say it's individual.

    Lucky for me, I also have no interest in eating potatoes or pasta on their own. I love potatoes, but as a side dish (and with a bit of olive oil anyway), and I've always eaten pasta for the sauce (and for the record make a pretty nutritionally-dense sauce typically, with veggies and protein, although I can enjoy a carbonara too, naturally). ;-)

    I'm not low carb at all and wouldn't like to be, but when I experimented with putting my carbs back at 50% I struggled to meet them. I've gone back to 40% and even there I suspect I'll be under more often than not, just based on personal preference. (I do find I perform better in exercise if I hit around 40%, so I'd like to keep it there.)

    You do understand that no one is disagreeing that low carb can be a good approach for people, right? It seems to me that's the essence of what Alabaster is saying.
