I am an endomorph & struggle to lose body fat, in order to reach 10% body fat or less, should i only have carbs post workout?

Energy for work out: Weight loss is a result of less consumed than burned, not the source of calories. Carbs supply quick energy for exercise, fat supplies energy for storage, protein helps build and repair.
