đĄReady for some text book physiology?
đĽWe explain why for athletes (!=couch potatoes), fat is unsuitable as primary fuel and unable to support exercise at high intensities.
đ¤Does this mean you should prioritize carbs over fat in your diet? Depends. If you're an athlete, then the answer is likely yes.
đđ˝If you're just another guy/gal trying to stay reasonably fit or even lose weight, then carb intake should be monitored a little more closely and be a bit more balanced with healthy fats.
