Do you encounter any problems with satiety having such a large carb intake? I can recall some of my refeeds from the past where I was actually hungrier than low days due to the relative proportion of carbs to fats.

I never stated i felt lethargic or crappy??? .. i never felt terrible on prep, nor do i feel like this in the offseason .
If my performance was not optimal, my trainer would not suggest it, nor would he keep me on this diet if i continued to make gains during contest prep, and nealry added over 10 pounds of LBM last offseason in under a year. I know that everyone is different, but if fats suited me better you are damn right i would be adding more in. Just read my quotes above from your lasts posts as why i do this type of lifestyle, and why i hire/pay jason to do my diet/nutrition. He is a guru and knows me and my body very well.
I appreciate the input, but honestly try getting much oil on top of 6g of fish oil and 385g of carbs and 240g of protein. its pretty damn hard to fit much if any in. Not to mention satiety of oil = nada. If i had the room you know i would try to do the best i can to try different things, but right now what i have done the last year has produced the best results of my life.
"Dont fix what aint broken" right?
Never have a problem with hunger/satiety in prep or in offseason. Ever sinced moving towards IF/lower meal frequency hunger has been at bay for the most part, just stay busy, dont think about food, or think you have to eat at X hour has made vital progress in terms of hunger. When i used to eat 5-6 times a day. i would be hungry as hell all the time (just what i found). Then again my fats were never as high as yours recently, but when i first started with jason we tried carb cycling (low/medium/high days) where fats would be low/medium/high as well depending on carb intake, and straight kcals with higher fats. Both ways were not productive for me regardless of goal, or satiety. Fats just straight up bloat me and make performance terrible/worse.

Hey Bob I totally understand why you are on a low fat intake and why you prefer to do so and feel better while doing it. I'm much like you, I could go on eating low fat for a long time without any negative effects or feeling bad/lethargic. The reason why I still keep eating fat although I don't feel it is necessary for myself, and while i prefer eating more carbs/protein for better satiety, is because I know it is recommended to eat a minimum amount of fat just to keep the body functioning properly, and to keep a proper hormone system and healthy levels.
The thing is I think 40-45g of fat per day, not during contest prep which would be understandable, seems quite low and i'm wondering if it worries you since you are still quite young, and not eating enough fat for a long period of time may cause some negative effects with body functions/hormone levels? And you are not in contest prep, you are in your off-season. Of course correct me if I am wrong I am simply curious to your thoughts on it.

Don't know what it is, but just dont like em.
I get bloodwork done every month (mom is a medical technologist) my levels are in range. If you are curious go see a doctor and get some work done.
Long term dieting if you ever read on Alan's Site, Martin's, Lyle's etc can result in lowering of IFG-1, T3, Leptin, Free/Total Test levels, Drops in Thyroid levels, Protein Synthesis, and Cellular Energy State (Right from Lyle's E-book Ultimate Diet 2.0)
Most people really overanalyze diets and their food selection and think if you eat 1 way it may not suit you or this or that. Honestly bodybuilding is so black and white. Find what works for you, Try different things, try different intensity techniques when you train and find what SUITS you and WORKS for you. Nobody is the same. Its about finding what is "Optimal" for you and your body.
What one person does is great, it works for them, give it a shot and see what happens. But to try and replicate others is ludicrous because there is no one thing that works for X and everything will work for Y. You can only take information and apply it. Take Science and apply it.. but personal results will vary.

Exactly. I think people on here get a bit overly concerned about low-fat diets like they are some sort of anti-endocrine nutritional regimen. Obviously if you start dipping below .2g of fat per pound of bodyweight you are really pushing the limits of what is essential to your body's cellular demands, but some folks (like Bob) can do just fine with .25-.3g fat per pound of BW. I'd be more concerned about health ramifications of OVERALL caloric restriction long-term as opposed to just low-fat intake.

Your fats are fine. What is "low" anyway.
Also, w/ Avacado's - have you ever tried toasted them on Pizza or bread? Tastes wicked, I had a mate who hated fresh avacado's but loved them toasted on bread/pizza.SydMisc | Team: Norton

Actually it is considered low fatby both g/lb and % standards
Im sure Bob would even agree his eating style is considered low fat
That doesnt mean "too" low
They are two different things
If they were too low his energy would be in the crapper and his t-levels not normal
That isnt the case
Energy, bloodwork and performance are all fine
Others the same size may need 2x the fat intake because everyone's body is unqie and responds differently
In terms of saitiey, it coes down far more to foods than macros IMO
Bob eats a lot of fruit and potatoes (hi carb and hi satiety)
4 oz of potato is more filling than 1tbsp of butter/oil
If he was gettig all his carbs from wonder bread and jelly, he probably wouldnt feel the sameFounder of MMDELAD
