I've heard of an olympian female who consumes 10,000 calories per day. And because she's an olympian, she ain't fat. She looks like any physically fit female.
To the OP, don't go with low carb, high protein. Some recommend high carb diets. So who's right? I say go with the

You may be technically correct, but my experience has been that I can lose weight and maintain weight loss through diet alone. Without question, the healthiest weight loss program involves exercise too. In fact, our best chance of achieving good health is through a balanced nutrition and exercise lifestyle.
