once again youre changing your story. i dont have an issue with this. what i had an issue with was your original statement of 'eat carbs = store fat' which made you sound like metabolic advantage nutjob. it seems youre just bad at coherently communicating your thoughts.

Looks like yours needs work.

Now I'm quoting you
"In the context of isocaloric diets, the proportions of fat to carbs doesn't matter."

"It all just means that from a body composition standpoint, once protein ia accounted for, it doesnt make much of a difference where the rest of your calories come from; they will have to come from either carbs or fat, and for the most part the proportions dont really matter."

"Because, generally, people who have good body composition are more active , manage their calories to some degree, get adequate protein, EFAs, etc. People with shitty body composition are less active, eat too much, dont get adequate protein, EFAs, etc."

You said the proportions of carbs to fat doesn't matter yet essential fatty acids from fats are now mentioned as an vital source of nutrition to improve body composition. Is 5% of calories from fat good enough to provide those EFAs as it doesn't matter what the ratio of fat to carbohydrate is? Will 5% of calories from fat be OK for a male in his 20s? How will he manufacture ample testosterone without cholesterol from fat?
Retard, learning how to read would help tremendously. This will be the third time I have posted this:

20-30% > 5%. Looks like your math sucks, too.
