Here is a question? Hopefully i will get several peoples answers! I am a little overweight i feel. Have a gut and fat around the chest but at the same time muscular. If i am trying to build muscle and i know carbs are neccessary to help muscle growth, can the fat on my body be used for energy instead of eating more carbs? Or should i lower the carb intake? I confused cause i know muscles dont grow on protein alone the need that spike from carbs? Bbottom line could i lose some weight by cutting the carbs alot and use bodyfat ?
