SublimeZM said:well im bulking but i dont wanan become a huge fatt ass.
but also, a question is that article seems to be talking about body fat, and not dietary fat.
in other words it seems like its saying you will burn stored carbs in the cell before you burn the stored fats in the celll, but it doesn tseem to adress the healthy fats being taken in while being taken in at the same times as carbs? or would it not make a difference
If the cell is full of glucose, it will more readily accept that as an energy source than the fat, fat converts poorly to energy. Do a google search for Lyle McDonald, and Will Brink, I've listened to them post for years on the newsgroup misc.fitness.weights and they are excellent sources of cited studies for anything dietary.
What I am worried about is your take on the fats stored, you may be micro-managing it too much. You are going to gain fat as you gain muscle, only those new to training and those that are chemically enhanced will not. Now, that being said, You can keep your body fat % the same as long as you are gaining muscle & fat in the same proportions as you already have. Since you are on a bulk cycle, keep an eye on your body fat to maintain it. not decrease it, as you are gaining lean body mass.
