Default Re: Excercise question..calorie to carb?

Hi

If I understand your question correctly, I think that part of the problem in figuring it our is that carbs are calories just like protein and fat. So you cannot substitute carbs for calories.

But I think that your body will prefer burning carbs, so if you take in too many carbs it will stay on carb burning mode and not burn fat. By lowering the carbs you force the body to switch to fat burning mode.

But I may be misunderstanding your question
