Life wouldn’t be worth living without pasta and potatoes. Glad to read an article that says that I can eat a moderate amount of these things without becoming a whale. My diet has mostly consisted of pasta, potatoes, leafy greens, chicken, a small assortment of colorful fruits and vegetables, and a serving size of mozzarella cheese when I’m bored of the taste of… anything… and I’ve lost 7 lbs in 4 weeks on a 600-800 calorie deficit. Been drinking plenty of water and doing regular strength training, so I hope it’s not mostly water weight and muscle loss! But if I followed the thousands of other articles out there, you’d think that eating so many carbs would mean that I’m biologically incapable of losing weight, no matter how many calories are in/out. Thanks for the common sense, Keith. 🙂

In reply to Jasmin. You are right. Skinny guys need carbs to bulk up though.

In reply to Keith. No one can count calories Keith. That is scientifically proven. Humans are really, really bad at it.

There is essential fats,there is essential amino acids…but never heard about essential carbs! Carbs are only fast energy! Am I right?!

Read this for macros – http://www.fitmole.org/tracking-marcos-sucks-mft/

I like to just focus on just hitting protein and staying within overall calories.

You can ballpark carb and fat intake, and just make sure you’re not skewing too heavy to either side.

Hi Keith, thanks again for this awesome article. Once we know eating carbs and fat loss is compatible, what would be a standard macros for losing weight? I know it depends on the person, but just wanted to get some numbers overall. Thanks!
