it really depends on what your goals are, and what your training is like......me personaly?...i would do moderate carbs...cause i run, workout, and cardio after my workout....so i tend to need them...

when i have tried low carb with my style of working out.....didnt work too good...

My body doesn’t metabolize carbs very well in terms of body composition, hence I prefer to derive most of my calories from healthy fats.
Fats keep me feeling fuller longer and have a very healthy influence on natural androgenic hormone levels.

try em both out and see what works better. you might even try cycling back and forth between the two. maybe high carbs and training days and high fats on non training days. see what works and feels the best for you. personally, i always try to keep fats  at a minimum, but every so often (maybe every other day or two) i get cravings for fats, and when that happens ill take in some healthy unsaturated fats like some kind of nuts, or peanut butter. though i do tyr to make sure that i get at least a small amount of fat on a daily basis, just not saturated if i can help it.
