>>13592668>this anon is trolling or genuinely retarded, carbs and more directly calories are how the body actually worksNope, you're the retard. Over 95% of the fat on your body is from dietary fat, which is very efficiently converted to body fat. De novo lipogenesis is very metabolically expensive, so the body simply upregulates metabolism to deal with extra glucose (carbohydrate) as well as other things. If you eat 5000 calories a day of white rice with the bare minimum of fatty acids and vitamins/minerals, you won't get fat or it will literally be at far slower of a rate than CICO would ever suggest. CICO is true insofar that eating at a caloric surplus causes the FAT in your diet to be stored (there's also other problems with it, but that's a big one, lol). If there's almost no fat in your diet, the metabolic pathway that converts glucose to fats is literally so inefficient that the weight gain is a fucking order of magnitude less.
Keep being a dumbfuck that doesn't understand biochemistry. Take the trenbolone needle out of your arm and quit acting like you're a diet and fitness expert because you read the laughably wrong /fit/ sticky.
