But when I was on a typical bodyduilding diet any period without weights and
cardio resulted in a rapid fat gain (and I was younger than so my metabolism
was probably faster). So I guess carb intake can be blamed here. Also many
people who stop working out also stop control food intake.

At the moment I'm trying not to count calories but I noticed that when I'm
less active I'm automatically eating less so maybe that's the answer.

agree, for example American Indians were very strong, many strongmen today
