In articles and write ups there is an argument for and against carbs when following a workout plan and diet while hitting ones macros.

Though it seems that some recommend taking an approach where they consume little to no carbs (as much as they realistically can) and others recommend balancing carbs and fats while keeping the intake of protein constant.

In the latter, either higher carbs and low fat or high fat and low carbs depending on the individuals preference.

Is it advantageous to completely cut out carbs or is the balanced approach best for someone aiming to lose fat and build muscle over a 12 week exercise plan?

edit: my goal isn't to lose weight, but rather to build lean muscle.
