Macro partitioning

Among Swedish nutrition students, shifting dietary energy intake from carbohydrates to fat (decreasing carbs from ~47% to ~41% and increasing fat from ~32% to ~37%) is associated with maintained or increased fiber and micronutrient intake, suggesting this macronutrient partitioning is not inherently unfavorable for this specific demographic.

If you are shifting your diet to eat fewer carbohydrates and more fats, ensure you are still getting enough fiber and micronutrients. In this study, students who ate less carbs still met fiber recommendations and saw improvements in folate and vitamin D intake. Focus on the quality of your food (vegetables, nuts, whole grains) rather than just hitting a specific carbohydrate percentage target.
