This is why I'm jacked and you're not

No, despite what you might’ve seen on some Instagram page or Netflix documentary, carbohydrates themselves are not inherently fattening on a calorie for calorie basis.

Carbs contain calories just like any macronutrient and so they can certainly contribute to a calorie surplus (the actual cause of fat gain) if you’re consuming large amounts.

However, when total calories are equated carbs do not lead to greater net fat accumulation.

Not only that, but most typical foods people think of as “high carb” (cookies, donuts, pastries, cakes, muffins etc.) are high in both carbs AND fat.

In other words, they’re just high calorie in general.

This doesn’t mean low carb is “bad”, and if you personally prefer a lower carb diet and feel good physically and mentally that way, go for it.

But at the same time, there’s no need to go out of your way to restrict carbs unless you have a specific reason for doing so.

When it all comes down to it, what truly matters for losing fat while maintaining muscle (or possibly gaining depending on the conditions) is that you create a calorie deficit while consuming sufficient protein.

As long as you’re doing that, the specific macro breakdown you use is a secondary factor and should be primarily based on what you can most easily adhere to.

Regardless of what anyone tries to tell you, net energy balance (calories in vs. calories out) is still the underlying principle that governs overall fat loss/fat gain - not any one particular macronutrient or food group.
