Summary:
5 men and 4 women ate 2 different diets for 4 days each
One diet provided 100% of energy requirement with 50% carb, 35%, fat, 15% protein; the other provided 175% of requirement with 71% carb, 20% fat, 9% protein
In 1st diet, carbs were either oxidized for energy or stored as glycogen with only 4% contributing to body fat; in 2d diet fat synthesis increased by 296%
Conclusion:
Carb intake doesn’t increase body fat unless you eat more than you need
Comment:
This was extreme overeating but the bottom line is still that it’s the calories that determine your weight
