carb counting

[green22]

Do most of you guys include carbs from PB and nuts in your carb count totals??? I know many dont count the ones in Broc, lettus, spanich ect.... Im guessing most do for PB and nuts.. whats your opinions??????

[eatrainrest]

yes i count everything but green veggies

[BroncosFTW]

Yup, I count everything.

I don't count the carbs from veggies...then again I only have 'real' carbs in the morning, and the rest of the day I eat veggies!

PB I'd count, but really it doesn't have a lot of carbs!

count the calories, never the carbs

count the calories, never the carbs

what?? hahahaa

[eatrainrest]

what?? hahahaa

for leafy green vegetables... count the calories because a calorie is a calorie regardless of what it is youll gain/lose.. but dont count the carbs

the amount of calories is not what is important..

to obtain a goal of weight loss without muscle loss, or to become stronger one must manipulate the body's ability to store or use fat..

thus counting the calories becomes irrelevant, and the manipulation of macro's consumed become more important to obtain a persons goals..

or perhaps all the fitness models, body builders and trainers all have it wrong??

im a bit confused on what your saying? are you disregarding calories as having anything to do with losing fat? it definately has to do with both macros and counting calories. subtracting 500 calories daily from your current maintenenace level should shed 1lb per week (this is what is healthy and recommended). are you saying that a fat person should now worry about their calorie content but just macro? they both equally need to be taken into consideration based upon their goals

he is saying macro percentage manipulation is more important than just making sure you hit your calorie mark for the day, which is completely true

[eatrainrest]

i also agree, but caloric intake also is of importance. its definately a combination of the two

i count all except the veggies, but if you eating about 3kg of veggies maybe you should start calculating hehehe.
but yeah count all but not the veggies.
