Carbohydrates and Lean Muscle

If you're an athlete or a lifter trying to gain muscle and get strong, then you need carbs. Fat people have poor nutrient partitioning abilities. The carbs they eat are more likely to be stored as fat. If you're relatively lean, your carb intake can be higher because leaner people have better nutrient partitioning abilities. People cling to the diets that initially gave them good results. Bad idea. Your metabolic condition changes. Lower-carb diets may be the best approach for improving body composition. Shoot for 100-125 grams per day. Serious lifters and athletes need 1-3 grams of carbs per pound.
