"Only thing that matters is calories bruh"
"Calories in-calories out man"
"Eat less, move more bro"
Calories are important of course but it's not the whole thing
Your caloric intake is not the only factor that determines whether you gain or lose weight

In fact, how you take and when you take those calories are more important than the calorie count
For example,
You can still lose weight when you're in a caloric surplus
It's about which macros you choose to put into your system

Your body doesn't respond to calories
It does respond to the nutrients
1g sugar and 1g protein have the same calories
Yet your body doesn't respond equally to them

Time to prove this caloric surplus statement
First of all, I'm not a totally anti-carb person
I think carbs are useful for some people
Such as
-Highly active individuals
-Professional athletes
-People who are trying to build muscle

However, that doesn't mean they can't do it without carbs
They can, but it would be harder for most people
And low carb intake is not that much effective to build muscle compared to higher carb intake
Let's get into the study

This study conducted by the Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition in 2018
It took a look 24 subjects that have 2 years of resistance training experience
It divided them into 3 groups
Ketogenic Diet (KD)
Non-ketogenic diet (NKD)
Control group (CG)

All three of them ate in a caloric surplus and did resistance training during the study
Results were pretty cool
KD group had a significant decrease in Fat Mass, Visceral Adipose Tissue and Total Body Weight (bad fat)
And no significant changes in Lean Body Mass

So, as I said earlier you can lose weight in a caloric surplus with a keto diet
But it will be harder to build muscle without carbs

Finally
It all depends on what you're after
There are multiple ways to achieve one goal
You may lose weight with carbs too
Not my thing but you can do it
