Hello!
A little preface to the question.
I've tried many different diets through the years and found out I feel the best with a moderate-to-high protein (25-30%), high fat (55-60%) and low carb (10-15%), of course somewhat varying.
The high fat is very important to me. I've found that I don't feel the need to snack at all, I don't feel cravings for sugary junk and overall I feel full and satisfied on high fat diet, compared to both high protein and/or high carb diet.
That said, I would like to get back to strength training again, after a 3 year period of almost no weight lifting and mostly light cardio.
What I am curious about is this:
1. Is there a solid, science-based equation to calculate minimum to optimal amount of carbs for muscle recovery and growth ?
2. Since on this diet I run out of glycogen quickly, how much worse (I am just assuming it is worse, because of the length of the conversion) is relying on lipolysis, instead of glycogenolysis during a training session, when it comes to strength and endurance ?
Thank you!
