what would be best to cut ??

what would be best to cut carbs + protein with trace fats or fat & protein without carbs exept post workout as alot of bodybuilders i know just eat rice and chicken or fish 8 weeks out 7 times a day , and they do not include fat at all ,

I'm by far the least qualified person here to give advice on cutting but since nobody has chimed in I would definitely go with fat and protein with postworkout, high GI carbs.

thats what i usually do , but how come most bodbuilders approach is the other way ( protein + carbs) usually rice which is high g.i with minimal fats thats the part that i dont understand ?? and they come ripped to the bone

you don't want to use fats post workout, as fat slows down the whole digestion process. Post work out, you wanna use fast acting protein/carbs (protein isolate/maltodextrin,dextrose), i always have a shake post workout rather than solid meals cause your body doesn't take long to break it down vs solid meal. After you're done working out,(muscle fiber tears) your body has around 30 min(window of opportunity) to get all the nutrients in to start repairing and refilling your muscles with glycogen ( that's why we use carbs post-workout).
As for fat, since it slows the digestion down, you can benefit from it on the meal before last,===> basically it time releases the protein in your body while your sleeping, or you can use a slow acting protein shake before bedtime.

To clear up any confusion, I didn't mean fat should be consumed immediately after workouts. It should be consumed throughout the day with protein.

The most effective strategy for me is to phase carbs out throughout the day. In other words, my carb intake is high in the morning and I generally don't get any after 5 or 6 pm, switching to protein/fat. The lone exception is post workout.

carbs + protein with no fats or fats + protein with carbs taken only post workout ??
