    STOP FEEDING PEOPLE *kitten* LIES! YOU NEED CARBS TO SURVIVE AND GIVE US ENERGY. EVERY SIGLE CELL IN OUR BODIES RUN OFF OF GLUCOSE. PUSING YOUR BODY WITHOUT CARBS MAKES IT GO INTO ILL STATE AND WILL ELIMINATE YOUR ENERGY AND MAKE YOU FEEL LIKE *kitten*. STOP FEEDING PEOPLE *kitten* LIES THAT CARBS ARE BAD AND THAT YOU CAN SURVIVE WITHOUT THEM.[/quote]

    No the human body can survive on Fats and Protein alone with zero carbs why because that "energy" your talking about is called Glucose which can come from Protein and Fat once ingested by our fantastic bodies.

    I would Highly recommend you do a little research before Splating your Young Know it all self on the Boards without any research. A simple google search could seriously help you..

    Technically we don't need carbs to survive either protein and fat will store as glycogen and be used as energy.
    No we don't need carbs to survive, but we do need them to thrive...

    I make sure i hit my protein number and then my fats, good fats. I worry less about carbs but i do notice if they creep up my weight will creep up as well. Usually they creep up because i missed my protein goal.

    This, yes. That's why dont understand why Scooby says I need 35/45/20. What's with that extra 5%?

    Sweating over a 5% difference in macros is 'majoring in the minors'. Your weight won't "creep up" on 5% more carbs as long as you're in a deficit. Set your macros, try to get somewhere close to them and don't get obsessive about hitting them right on the number.
