Fat intake question

[lifebeckons75]

Hi,

I know 0.4g per lb is the usual minimum recommended fat intake, and I have no problem meeting that. However sometimes I get significantly over that and was wondering if there is a downside of eating too much fat.

For a 160lb male bulking at 3200 calories, is there any difference between these two scenarios:

1. Protein: 160g, Fat: 80g, Carbs: 460g = 3200 cals
2. Protein: 160g, Fat: 160g, Carbs: 280g = 3200 cals

Ques 1: In one diet better than the other?
Ques 2: Would it make a difference if one was cutting as opposed to bulking?

The difference would depend on the individual. Some perform better with higher carbs, other on lower carbs

Thanks AlwaysTryin. So if I don't see any difference in performance (And I assume you mean gym performance ), then there is no difference between the two.

From a body composition perspective, be it gaining muscle or losing fat, there is no difference?
