How many carbs per day for weight training to lose belly fat?
I’m confused. When bodybuilding, you should have lots of carbs since building muscles require a lot of energy (more than 40 g of carbs). Muscles lose fat and has great metabolic rate than fat. However, people suggest low carb diet in order to lose fat which contradicts weight training. What’s going on? How many carbs is needed to lose fat when you do weight training?

Carbohydrates should be about 55% of your diet. Take your goals in target calories and multiply by .55
40% protein
40% carbs
20% fat
carbs are needed the most after your workout to restore glycogen(recovery) and help with protein synthesis (protein is used to build muscle)
u dont want too many carbs late at night because when your liver is full of glucose it then spills over to be stored for fat
try a 4:4:2 ratio with your meals of protein:carbs:fat
when you eat protein, fat, fiber with carbs it slows down there activity which leads to less insulin (fat storing hormone) and it doesnt get stored as fat and u are allowed to use thoes carbs in your workout for energy
