I eat 3000 calories a day and try to get 600g of carbs a day, I would like to think I eat in excess. Plus HCLF forum would say that around 10% of daily calories from fats would be low. I stick to a 80/10/10.

That God you're here man. Some people on MFP forums preach HFLC and have no idea what they're doing to themselves and their bodies. Many ppl associate carbs with ice cream, cookies, chips, and oils. You and I, as HCLF, put those foods in the fat category, not carbs. You're a blessing to see in this forum my friend, so many…

So you're going to comment about the film I cited but not the studies. Cool.

It's hard to get the right kind of foods when your college dining hall doesn't always have the best options.

Explain why I eat unprocessed carbs and still weigh 153 lbs then. Carbs are carbs.

When I say long run, I do not mean a year. I mean 10-20 years.

Carb up

I am your friend? No, open it to the public.

More studies incase the people in the back didn't hear. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2125600/ http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17364116 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16904539 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19828712 https://www.cspinet.org/nah/pdfs/covermay2014.pdf…

Yes there are low carb atheletes! Do they WIN? No. Kenyans are some of the fastest people on earth and tell me what they eat. Grains, sugar, and corn. All carbs.

You're the one spreading misinformation! Go watch Forks over Knives! A whole food-plant based diet is the healthiest one to live! If you really think eating butter and saturated fat foods is GOOD for you, then you really need a reality check. Open your diary and let's see what you're eating. Here's some links for you..…

Check the time man. It must have been BEFORE you replied to me in another thread.

Carb up mate

Thank you!! Finally I see a person who understands HCLF, I haven't seen one yet besides you!

Oh yeah, I should definitely stop eating my grains, vegetables, legumes, starches and fruit and switch to meat, dairy, eggs, and other highly saturated fat foods! Nah I'll stick to my high carb and continue to weigh 153 lbs and have the energy to bike 1+ hours everyday.

Oh, that seems to be strange haha. But what suits you, suits you.

I always do feel a little puffier the next day when I had a lot of sodium the day before.

If you are referring to me, I am very sorry. I was in no way trying to discourage or not help you. I was simply just stating that a fitbit is not always accurate because it does not have a heart rate monitor. As I now know you have a HRM, I'm glad that you can figure out your daily calories burned. I hope you have an…

Carbs jack up Cholesterol? Do you associate carbs with chips, ice cream, cookies, and just food? Those are all high fat foods! When I'm talking about carbs, I mean grains, vegetables, fruits, legumes, and starches! All those foods have close to 0 cholesterol, many have none. Meat on the other hand and other fatty foods,…

You should pay more attention to weekly weight loss rather than daily.

Higher fat is more insulin resistant than fruits and vegetables. Its hard to be sustainable in the long term with a HF diet.

Never said that.

If you eat 500 calories less than you're depriving yourself of the nutrients. Plus it doesn't hurt to burn some calories everyday.

I'm just trying to look out for the OP and make sure they are eating enough. I'm all about consistency and sustainability when it comes to diets. Low carb diets are not successful in the long run, people only use them to lose weight.

You're right, everyone has different TDEEs. That was my fault for the assumption. But what I'm trying to say is you should go out and burn 500 calories a day.

Just suggesting the daily recommended amount suggested by the FDA.

I would say closer to 3000 would be TDEE.

I see people eating 1k calories and they definitely don't need that little.

I'm trying to help. I see people starving themselves with 1000 calories a day. Eat a little more and burn more.

TDEE is different from calories burned through exercise.
