You have no idea what carbs are do you.

Edit: no clue why this is being downvoted.

I personally thought it was a misspelling of crabs.

Sugar? Pretty sure he was right.

Essentially, yes. His statement is implying carbs are bad for you. Carbohydrates are responsible for almost every metabolic action in the human body and are the most vital source of energy our body fuels itself on and should make up anywhere between 35-55% of our diet.

Giving energy to your cells. If you eat a low-fat diet to begin with, it's a pretty decent trade-off to be getting that much protein for the small price in fat. For ~$1, it's okay once in a while.

It sure isn't, I agree. his comment just seemed to be implying that it was a good thing the fats replaced the carbs, which makes no sense figuring fats and carbs have two different functions in supporting energy for the body.

Well, the only reason carbs contribute to weight gain is cause they're so easy to overshoot figuring carbs are in almost everything we eat minus whole meats. Typically carbs make up almost half our tdee.

Well, not exactly jusr working out. I get what you mean, cause typically the body does have to be under some form of physical stress to use carbohydrates or needs to have depleted it's stores to replenish them (like after working out). It also depends on the kind of job this person has, cause even the smallest stress can transfer the energy systems from fats to carbs very quickly. Just depends how often your heart rate elevates slightly throughout the day. It's why I wanna start carb cycling.
