...most food intake was recommended as carbs. This was based on nothing scientific and was invented by an unqualified vegan clerk in the American Department of Agriculture.

Have a read ofKreider et al, they are citing numerous studies finding:

Increasing fat inhibits carb utilisation and accelerates the onset of exhaustion, subjects can exercise up to 2.6 times longer before exhaustion on a high carb diet compared with high fat.

Subjects recover faster from overtraining on HCLF compared with LCHF.

The extent of protein degradation during exercise is heavily influenced by the availability of bodily carbohydrate stores, when carbohydrate is depleted protein broken down from muscle contributes 2.5 times more energy during exercise (10% vs 4%).
