As far as I know carnivore folks don't get hypoglycemia from protein only. Your body is very good at regulating blood sugar so will prevent hypoglycemia. I have never experienced hypoglycemia from meat before.Nice article, some people here recommend getting 2g carb for every 1g protein. Specifically to avoid hypoglycemia and to make use of the protein you eat so it doesn't get used for fuel. @Hans It looks like you don't get quite that much so do you agree with that?
For me personally I am sedentary so a lot of extra carbs would seem like easy fat gain, or I would have to go unnaturally low in fats.
I just want to make sure I'm getting over 200g of carbs daily (preferably around 300g) as I'm not training balls to the wall and even hard resistance training will not come close to depleting muscle glycogen if only done for a few sets.
In my opinion carbs won't make you any more fat than fat will. If you're in a surplus then you'd gain weight, but if it's either low carb or low fat, that amount of weight gain will be less than if high carb and high fat were combined (there are exceptions ofc).
I'm basically eating food to get enough micros so I'm ending up at about 1g of protein per pound BW which is actually ideal for a intermediate to advanced lifter. Then I just add in carbs with milk, honey and OJ and I end up at about 300g. I'm feeling great and am full all day so I don't really have a desire for more carbs.
