Is it better to consume more calories than fat or carbs?
Question:
Answers:
i assume you meant to ask, Is it better to consumer more calories FROM fat or carbs.
the bottom line is that the total # of calories is what matters. i think that the Zone diet or approximation of this is good [about 1/3 calories from protein/carbs/fat].
definitely, don't try to cut fat outs completely.
some people try the extremely low carb, low protein, and mostly fat ketogenic diet. i'm not sure if this works that well, but it's hell on your bowel movement regularity. you'll probably go twice per month if you're lucky.
question does not make sense, fat and carbs are calories..1 gram of fat equals 9 calories 1 grams of carbs equals 4 calories, does this help?
That's a dumb question. Fat, protein, and carbs are types of nutrients your body can use, fat has 9 calories per gram, protien and carbs have 4 each. You should consume most of your calories from high-quality protien, low glycemic (complex) carbs, and healthy (monounsaturated, polyunsaturated) fats.
