what do you mean???

carbs are protien sparing,if you dont get enough carbs your body will use protien for energy. You need carbs to store water in your cells,you will lose muscle if you dont get enough carbs.

I don't want to enter into too much of a debate about this as the OP was only asking if you need more.

One point I will make here though is fat is protein sparing also. Research the various articles on carb timing or cycling diets. I agree that you need some carbs but I will say that some is a very broad amount. In real terms a lot of trainers, myself included, have trace amounts of carbs (8g or less per meal) to great effect and maintain single digit BF levels but high strength levels.

The more your body uses fats for energy the more accustomed it becomes in using them as it's primary source of fuel the better you will become adapted to being carb depleted but not strength and energy depleted.
