Carbs just make me retain water weight (hence the "hydrate" part of "carbohydrate"). At the end of the day, calories matter for weight maintenance. I'm 5'10, male, and 140 pounds; 60%+ of my diet is complex carbs, and I'm pretty lean. I guess it depends on activity level and what works for each person.

This website didn't work for you: http://www.health-calc.com/diet/energy-expenditure-advanced It's pretty much dead-on accurate for me, as long as you are truthful about the exercise levels. It seems like intense is 13.5+ METs, moderate is 7-8ish, and light is 4-5ish.
