Whats the reason behind this?

Does it make sense, that I gain more fat off of a low carb/ high protien/moderate-high fat diet with a lower caloric intake than I do with a high carb/moderate protien/low fat diet with a caloric surplus? If so, why?

What were your measurements BF% wise before and after the low carb diet, and what were the measurements before and after high carb diet? Your explanation is a little vague...

because thats what your body wants to do ???

not everyones body works on low carbs dude

i look like absolute shit on low/zero carbs

it could be a lot of different things in terms of your metabolism, body type, etc.

Carbs and their effect vary from person to person. For me being an ectomorph i can eat a high amount of carbs and not notice any fat gain even when eating 400-500g a day.

No doubt. My body, much to my dismay, responds terribly in regards to fat gain when grams from carbohydrate exceed 200g per day. I have fat boy genetics - endo thru and thru - so if you're a "hardgainer" your body may respond differently, i.e. perhaps more sensitive to certain fats than grams from carbohydrate. Do you keep a food log?

I don't care body fat % or measurements. I tend to go by the mirror.

Yes, I know that it is what my body wants to do, but I wanted to see if anyone in here could give me an explanation. But thanks anyways.
