What is the optimal amount of carbohydrates and fat for people, considering that the protein intake is around 1g per lb of body weight, as discussed in the episode?
If my body fat is already at 20%, why do I need to eat more dietary fat to lose excess fat? I'm currently at 165lbs and would like to be between 140/145lbs. I consume 140 grams of protein per day, less than 20 grams of carbs, and about 60/70 grams of fat, with the majority being monounsaturated fats and low saturated fats. What are your thoughts, Andrew? Thanks!
