Carbs are very popular in the lifting community. And for good reason. Ultimately, one needs ATP in order to exert movements and the ATP generated from carb sources is the most efficient for anything physically intensive. Protein has to go through gluconeogensis to get converted to carbs and lipids require double the oxygen to be converted to ATP. I think the religion of food would be much better understood if food was approached as workloads. CPU bound, memory bound, IO bound, etc. But in general, carbs for physical activity and fats for mental activity.
