Yes most carbs are low in fat but it doesn't mean to say you go and eat more carbs. If you do, the excess will be converted into fat. As for a high carb low fat diet giving you more stamina, it's probably true, but not necessarily. Ultra marathon runners in cold climates eat plenty of fat because there is more energy to be had from fat. A balanced diet is the key with nutrients coming from plenty of sources.

It's true, there is a threshold in the amount of protein the body absorbs and stores but when the muscle tissue is under severe stress i.e. exercise, more amino acids are required in the diet for optimal reconstruction to occur.
