low fat, high carb/protein

[jlt]

just wondering if anyone here does a low fat diet (like 15-20% cals from fat) and how they feel and what their goals and results are like. if yes.. maybe post a typical day? thanks!!

My training days are very low fat - no real direct fat outside of fish oils and incidental fat in other foods.

I eat carbs for 5 of 6 meals.

There are many here who do not diet 'low carb' style.

I think you have to do what is best for you...and how you feel. I know that with working with Cara, we found that she HATED lower carb days. She dieted at the end on much higher carbs and felt a ton better.

I do better w/ lower carbs, but they taste so good that I end up eating them and dealing w/ feeling sluggish. :lol:

I in general do a lower fat/ higher carb diet. My fat intake is usually somewhere around 20%. As I was getting closer to competition it got a tad lower, but it usually stays over 15-18% for sure. I dont intake alot of outside fats, just mostly what is in the foods I eat, which are typically lean/lowfat. I do have a tiiinnny bit of almond butter 2 times a day though, but Im talking like 5-8 grams each time. Other than that my fat intake comes from my fish oil supplements. I feel like crap when I do no carb or really low carb. And in general the trainer Im working with atm, doesnt do low carb.

I love my fats! right now on PSMF so both fats and carbs are low but it is only for a set time frame and I am in the category that gets one cheat and one 5 hour refeed week so I do not miss my beloved fats as much! :pb:

I'm not an expert but I feel horrible on low carb. Really tired, low energy. I eat about 50 g's of fat, my BW in g's of protein and a little less than 150 g's of carbs. It's what I feel best at. Otherwise I would not have enough energy when I train.
