Will cutting back on the amount of carbs you eat ( say from 300g to like 100g per day) help you burn more fat? Or do you have to be at a really low fat gram per day to see any fat loss benefits?

Just wondering, is this like an advanced troll thread? Or a legit question?

The simplest way to look at how you burn fat is this: Energy in versus energy out. If you are expending more energy than you are taking in, then you will lose fat. The simplest way to look at that equation is this: Calories in, versus your resting metabolic rate + energy expended from work.

Fats do not make you fat, nor do carbs, or protein. Excess calories are what you're looking at. This comes down to what your body needs, when it needs it, and how you are expending that energy.

If you don't need the carbs you are eating, then your body will convert that into stored energy (fat). Reduce your carb intake based on what your body needs to fuel itself & when, and also pay attention to your carb-protein-fat ratio and overall calorie intake when you reduce carb intake. Obviously the quality of the carbohydrate / rate of digestion is important as well, as well as other factors such as overall nutrition, hormone production based on timings of eating & exercise, etc.

Not necessarily true. People on keto diets will burn more fat than people on a regular diet even if they eat the same amount of calories a day from many articles I've seen

That isn't incompatible with what I mentioned though. Unless if I'm mistaken. Since I mentioned timing matters, and the body will burn fat based on timing, and hormone response. Although I don't understand keto much. I'm probably mistaken, but I tried to word myself very specifically to encompass the best definition without speaking in absolutes.

i mean...it was a serious question...but i guess that eating 500g of carbs will be the same as 0g carbs...
