I'm having trouble finding any research or info online, so turning to the community for help.
Should an endurance athlete following a LCHF or Keto diet account for workouts when considering carb intake? Or will this hurt the adaptive nature of the diet.
In other words, if normal keto diet calls for <50g carbs, should an endurance athlete consider consuming <100g carbs to compensate for workouts, or is that irrelevant and will lessen the effects of LCHF? In addition, if you do find that you are better off floating up to 100-150g carbs/day, should one just commit to a normal 50/30/20 or 40/30/30 split, because there's no longer any benefit to staying low carb?
