Couple questions about low-carb

[spamsk8r]

I guess my research of lactose was wrong then, it was my understanding that lactose could only be converted by the liver and that the liver had a very limited storage capacity, thus, eating/drinking lactose/fructose unless it's right before or after a workout could have a detrimental effect on weight lose.

So far as 1.5g of protein per pound of weight... let me put it this way. If I ate only 1g of protein per pound of lean body weight my proportions for my meal plan would end up like this.

I need 2950 cals per day to maintain my weight, if I'm at excess let's say 3300.

180g of protein = 720 cals (20%)
143g of fats = 1290 cals (40%)
320g of carbs = 1290 cals (40%)

I mean come on cut it with the bro science shit, in your own healthy eating thread you recommend a 20 carb/40 fat/40protein split.

If you're cutting carbs you have to add cals somewhere and it can't all be fat. So what that means is that you end up eating AT LEAST 1.5g of protein today.

If I'm following your guidelines I'm actually eating about 2g of protein per day. It's not broscience, it's math using your own nutrition guidelines. The cals have to come from somewhere, and it can't be carbs in this diet.

The body can't effectively use protein amounts higher than around 40% of calories for any extended length of time without causing some potentially serious problems (google "Rabbit Starvation", Robb Wolf also did a good analysis on one of his recent podcasts). If you're on a low-carb diet then yes, most of your calories are going to be coming from fat, quite possibly in the 70-90% range for VLC diets.

He's calling bro-science on you because the information you are espousing, while not necessarily harmful, is at best unsupported by science and at worst provably false. We want this forum to be populated with people who are informed on the science of strength, conditioning, and nutrition, not those pushing the same old bodybuilding myths that have circulated locker rooms for decades.
