    I'm always over, but am currently trying to lower just to see if I can increase protein and possibly lose a bit of the love handle. Nothing else seems to be working, so why not?

    I have always eaten the majority of my calories in carbohydrates and have never been overweight, btw. I'm just a carb kind of person.

    Sigh......

    Carbs are not the devil...carbs are to the current era what fat was in the '80s...the boogie man. Going low carb may be beneficial for sedentary individuals, but if you're active at all it's pretty much suck *kitten*. I get in about 8 hours per week of vigorous exercise and pretty much need a minimum of 200 grams of carbs per day...more is better...I flippin' burn 'em as fast as I can get 'em.

    THIS!!

    I've been doing 40/30/30 for a long time, but recently increased carbs and found more energy and I sleep better at night. So, I've increased carbs quite a bit, and I don't mind if I go over a bit. I think, like everyone, I discounted their importance. Maybe there is a reason why the recommendation is actually more like 60% of your diet is carbs. Doesn't have to be potato chips and ice cream. Healthy carbs are fine. I'm just saying I feel so much better increasing carbs.
