[missyd143]

is fat ok when cutting on high protein ? or only on keto....or is it better to have moderate lo gi carbs with cardio...is cardio a necessity when wanting abs? does high protein work for everyone/// lol thanks

I would say generally a 60% - 25% - 15% split would be ok for cutting. Fats have to come mainly from protein sources though.

fat is not important-just keeps carbs low gi and protein high

fat intake is very important when cutting.

you need to ingest fats to lose fat. EFA's are essential in the production of testosterone and other hormones. as well as being the best source of energy for the body.

Having higher levels of test will obviously allow the body to be a higher anabolic state alllowing for a more positive nitrogren balance and protein uptake into muscle thus preventing muscle catabolism.
