If you look at Haub's sample day, he takes in 1589 calories of which 9 x 59 = 531 calories come from fat. This means 1058 calories come from other than fat. If these all came from carbohydrates, he would be getting 67% of his calories from carbohydrates. However, he doesn't tell us the actual amount of carbohydrates that he is eating. There is significant protein in his diet (e.g the Muscle Milk Protein Shake), but he doesn't tell us the total daily amount of protein either. According to the data on food labels, a typical 2000 cal/day diet would include 1200 calories from carbohydrates, or 60%. Since he never tells us how many grams of carbs he is eating per day, we don't know. If it's less than 60%, he could still be "low-carbing" relative to the average diet.
