Hi, I'm eating a low to moderate carb diet (around 100g-150g of carbs a day) and was wondering if it's a bad idea to eat carbs with fats at the same time. I'm someone who is trying to lose fat while gaining/maintaining muscle.

For example: Rice mixed with chicken fat or coconut oil is a typical Malaysian dish that my family sometimes has. If the serving of rice is under 25g of carbs, is it ok to have it with the chicken fat or coconut oil?

I also sometimes like to mix my coconut oil with a little honey to make it more appetizing and am wondering if this is bad since honey is high in carbs.

Also, I've looked at previous similar questions but the answers seem to be inconclusive or confusing to me. This is something I've always heard NOT to do, and am wondering if it's true at all or if it's just "bro-science" (I was reading this article on targeted ketogenic diets, which says not to eat too much fat while eating carbs)

Thanks for your insight!
