what is with low carb, high protein diets?

[moosextreme]

For bulking I mean.
How can anyone (apart from 100lbers) gain weight from a low carb and high protein diet?

I'm 215lbs and find it hard to eat 4500lbs calories a day - a lot of which come from carbs.
No way can you get enough carbs from some chicken, whey shake, fish, tuna, cottage cheese, etc.
No way can you get the required calories from a low carb diet if you are 200lbs + and need 500-800 calories per meal.

how can you gain from it?

i've never heard of anyone bulking with a low carb, high protein diet. you're probably getting confused with people who are cutting

[Superman]

You get the other calories from fat.

There's an article on it on the site, search for it.

regardless of whether or not he's confused between bulking and cutting, i don't see how you drew the conclusion that it would be hard to get enough calories with low carbs high protein. You do know that protein and carbs have the same caloric value...right? (4 cals per gram)



PEACE

Yeah, you're right.

Carbs - 4
Protein - 4
Fat - 9

It's not. a 4000 cal diet would require 600g of protein and 178g of fat. Somewhere thereabouts.

600 grams of protein I couldnt even imagine eating that much tuna, f*ckin gross.lol

[jshoty]

i cant gain crap of high protein low card diets, all i do is get flat and sluggish

[Poppa Pump]

No one bulks like that. You need carbs to energise your workouts. You'll have no energy to move the weights, and you'll look totaly flat. Peace

MakaveliThaDon, Moose probably meant that in most foods, lets say milk, there is like 21g Carbs while only like 9g of protein.

[SYRIANKID]

nobody said cut out carbs like that, just concentrate them earlier in the day and especially before and after workouts (as long as workouts aren't late at night)

[BigKazWSM747]

Not having hardly any carbs while bulking wouldnt be effective at all. You need carbs to digest and process protein properly.

Actually i heard of some people actually getting results from bulking on ckd but it takes discipline. I read it in the keto section or nutrition section i forget. People claim leaner gains but not many people advocate it.
