I must add though, that if the body is going through this, with turning the spillover into fat and turning that fat into energy for use later in the day, it might lower the MT or contribute to more fat gain in other ways. It is very complicated for the body to do this all the time, so let's say the spillover is of 200cals, then later in the day when the body needs cals only 150 will be converted from the spillover, and the the rest will be left as fat tissue, just because this process is tiresome in the long run. Perhaps, had there been no spillover, the body would have used 200 calories to perform this operation and thus perform it better instead of just using 150. We all know the body can reduce it's energy output.. but regardless.. this is very complicated and discussing it this deep, making assumption after assumption probably holds no purpose
In the end, one must experiment and do what experience tells you works.They are small and effectual bastards

Yes, the body can metabolically shift, which is another variable in the equation.

There is a point in all of this: That manipulation of carbohydrates is powerful tool in ones arsenal, when they learn to apply it in a manner that works for them.
Another example: If one is lean-enough (but still believes tissue is thick), one can cut carbohydrates, reduce water (as an example, using it as a mild diuretic), and leave calories UP toward your personal target (SEE carbohydrates "effect" tissue).
Maybe its just too much water. Reduce it and find out. If not back to the drawing board. I have wrote on these types of manipulations before.
Additionally, (again dependent on the person) one could theoretically set themselves up in the diet sense (through calorie, macro-nutrient, and activity manipulation) to be more tolerant.......for some of our forum members tendency to abuse their diets (through excessive alcohol consumption on the weekends), and lesson its impact (not eliminate it, but lesson it a great deal, by actively participating prior, during, and after). Are their pros and cons? Of course. But if one can learn to properly manipulate their diet/activity, they can effectively deal with their problem weekend (weekend used as an example). People need to open up their perception and definition of: DIET, and put it work for them, instead of against them.
Personally, I can reduce carbohydrates for about a week (say sub 30g per day, for example), and then eat reasonably over MT, and not gain one once of physical tissue (yes some water comes back, after about two days). But, I can "feel" and look even leaner than before.
In other words, manipulating carbohydrates can effectively make one look physically leaner. Thus learning about what they do or can potentially do (both the pros and cons) is important in my opinion.
I am off to train,,,,,,,should have been there a half hour ago, lol
Off to friggen.......make the iron wimp out........
