Well for starters I’m not a bodybuilder or a huge guy, so that’s not necessarily impressive food wise to large bodybuilders (the amount that would get me fat)
But I can tell you
@luki7788 on here who walks around @ about 290lbs and sub 10%, I’d even say closer to 7-8% year round (he has many pics on here for reference) talks about eating 1000g carbs on a normal day, and I believe he’s talked about 600ish grams carbs when getting really really peeled, striated glutes type of shit..
He also has posted many of his clients which quite a few are very impressive amateurs and pros and I have never once heard him talk about any of them going down to 0 carbs and 0 fats for weeks before a show… Ever…
Now as
@danieltx said above, I’m sure theres guys who might have to do that.. And as I agreed with him, im sure there’s guys who might even lie about their food intake getting that lean, as bodybuilders are known to lie about damn near everything lol
But that it’s super common and all these SHW’s in the top amateurs and pros are going 0/0 FOR WEEKS?? Nah bro…
