    bottom line 40% is too high - 20% is better - especially when you can get the ATP you need from Fat content - FAT is good for you - small amount of sugar you need but not almost half you diet

    <sigh>

    Once again, sugar =/= carbohydrates.

    I thought we'd been over this already.

    Can I eat back 100% of those exercise calories?

    Cause I'd really like another slice of that chocolate cake (just no calories left for the day...) and I could fit in a half slice for those...

    I am destined to die now since I eat around 45% sometimes more.

    thus the Original OPs post was average - what you are talking about are statistical outliers - in general people who eat less carbs - NOT no Carbs but less carbs - will on average be healthier - 40% is too high - the FDA has us eating 75% of our diet Grains Fruit and veg...... too much sugar under those percentages

    Tell me, if my protein is adequate, fat adequate, micros being met, what actual, quantifiable harm is the sugar doing to me however I'm eating it?

    Inflammation of soft tissue - Insulin sensitivity (High A1C numbers) - heart disease, peripheral neuropathy for starters

    Evidence for this? And not one of the spurious links you've already provided.

    here is one https://www.webmd.com/diabetes/peripheral-neuropathy-risk-factors-symptoms#1

    This article (which is not the same as a study) is about people with diabetes. Do you have any evidence of this being a concern for the majority of the healthy population, or are we talking about those dreaded outliers again?

    and pre-diabetic Hig A1C numbers - 40% carbs is too high ---- and will lead to long term inflamation

    I am neither diabetic nor pre-diabetic. Carbs and I are good.

    Again, A STUDY, an actual link to an actual study, not an article, not you shouting MAYO or anything else.
