Why do people say that carbs are bad fit?
My breakfast is usually oats and my lunch is usually pasta
Because they're morons who believe in fad diets.
my impression is that carbs are bad for people who arnt working hard enough. weekend warriors so to say. i dont eat a lot of bread and shit but if i need calories ill go for it quick.

carbs are boss on my refeed days
can eat 1000carbs and not gain fat but kinda sad that they never satisfy me, am always hungry after eating lots of carbs

I feel like it's just misinformation. My parents and doctor always said to "be careful with carbs" And I grew up avoiding them. Now I eat oats and rice daily and I feel more energetic, less moody and have better libido.
Processed sugars I believe are bad because they don't seem to give me energy or keep me satiated. But this is all anecdotal.
As with all diets it depends on your goals.
If you're trying to lose weight & you don't run 10 miles a day, minimize carbs.
Otherwise they're probably just fine unless you're diabetic.

There's a difference between bad and good carb sources
>>34868710
What sources of carbs do you eat?
>>34868733
Carbohydrates are energy. That's why you feel energetic.

on refeed days?
like 800 grams bread 1kg of rice sometimes switch the rice for pasta and some potatoes
need mostly starches on refeeds also gotta keep my fat low

Not OP, but I also do carb cycling. I do three and a half weeks of keto building up to a refeed 4 days and Max outs on my lifts, planning for the next mesocycle. The night before my max day, I usually have a couple of baked sweet potatoes with lean protein and leafy greens. The morning of, I have a few bananas and a glass of OJ with my creatine/supps. Then for the next few days I have one meal per day, usually lunch, with a cup of farro and lentils. Then I go back to keto for the next mesocycle.
So tldr, sweet potatoes, fruit, and whole grains.

>I feel more energetic, less moody and have better libido.
This happened to me when I lowered my carb intake. I use to eat an excessive amount of rice. Guess it's just about finding the right balance.

Lol is this a joke?
>>34868577
because people overeat when it comes to this macro
>>34868788
Christ how do you eat a kilo of rice? Do you put butter or soy sauce or whatever on it?
>>34868788
That's a fucktone of carbs, what's the logic behind it all? You're a powerlifter?
>>34868710
you kidding me? carbs fill me up like nothing else. If I eat a lot of carbs I can't eat shit for hours.
>>34869551
>you kidding me right?
no?
>>34869480
ketchup or plain, its the way I like it
I love rice but I never eat it on normal days bcus its empty calories, they have nearly no protein or fiber also they don't fill me up
>>34869524
when you do RFL or UD2 those amount of carbs are not out of the norm
>>34869973
you added the 'right' there fyi. starchy carbs are seriously my worst enemy in bulking becuase they fill me up so much. Just strange to hear of someone having the opposite experience.

you probably have good insulin sensitivity
>>34868926
This.
It's really easy to put away a shitload of carbs.
If you have any BF% above 10% then you have no need for carbs
Women however need carbs to keep their asses and tits healthy.

>you probably have good insulin sensitivity
I don't know what the means but I guess/hope i means I wont get beetus. I always had a latent fear that I might develop it despite being skelly.

No, high insulin sensitivity is a good thing. It means carbs give you good long lasting energy and make you feel more satisfied.
Poor insulin sensitivity (or insulin insensitvity) has carbs leaving you feeling unsatisfied, they end up maybe inducing more fat gain, leaving you feel bloated, making you feel either sluggish, or giving you lots of energy (but followed by a crash). This is what can lead to diabetes, someone ends up becoming so insensitive to insulin that it starts to do a very shitty job of reducing blood sugar when you eat carbs.

>Why do people say that carbs are bad fit?
carbs aren't bad
it's just that some foods can have tons of carbs without being a ton of food
>a candy bar can be ~250 kcal
>a bag of trail mix can be ~1000 kcal
part of counting calories is realizing the energy density of various foods
most importantly, super energy dense foods aren't filling -- eat a candy bar, 10 minutes later, you're hungry, even though you have consumed plenty of energy
if you do a decent amount of cardio, you can easily have a diet that's 60-80% carbs and still lose weight.
