I eat 55-61% carbs. Possibly way too many, but I haven't had any negative affects so I'll continue.

Basically, it depends.

hmmm maybe

lol

megsmom2

depends...some days a lot , some days not so much. I tend to focus more on keeping my protein up and making sure I get fruits and vegetables...other carbs sort of fit themselves in around the edges. I know I eat a lot less bread than I used to, but probably other kinds of grain products a little more often.

Im a diabetic so I strive for under 220 a day broken down its about 40 for breakfast, 40 for lunch and about 60 or so so dinner, and 3 snacks about 15 a piece, keeps my blood sugar from spiking. Have to have some form of carbs a day, can't run your body without them.

AntWrig

I am around 400-450 a day.

Wow. HOW do you guys keep them under 25g ?!!? O.O

Miss_Meliss86

Usually between 150-200/day depending on what I do that day. My macros are set at 40% carbs/40% protein/20% fat

Dovekat

I try to go no higher then 150g and aim to stay at around 100g a day or less Net carbs. Occasionally I have a carb explosion but hey no one is perfect right :happy:

Livdoesketo

<20g a day, tends to be more like 10g if I have kicked myself out of ketosis and I'm trying to get back into it.

gillz89

15g-25g (less than or equal to 5% of my calories though lately it's been about 10%...trying to change that back.)

This. A low day for me is in the 60s, high is 130 or 140. But I try to keep my protein up, get my veggies and an occasional fruit, and stay away (sometimes) from starchy stuff. My macros are set at 40-35-25. I never go over my carbs unless it's some type of special occasion.

I notice a definite difference when I keep my carbs low. But I'm old, and a long workout for me is an hour walk on the treadmill at 4mph and some hand weights.

SezxyStef

My carbs are kept low and I only eat complex carbs, fruit and veggies. Except bananas and melons...too much sugar.

I am pretty much Paleo at this point with the occasional starch...

sati18

usually between 2-300, which depending on my goal is 15-25% of my intake (i think, maths though is not my strong point)

however i dont really monitor them / care about what the makeup of the food is im eating. As long as i aim to eat proper meals and get my veggies in, the rest of the macros mean nothing to me. my protein is usually over what mfp thinks i should have but thats cos it keeps me satisfied and stops me snacking so much.

I would say though that most of my carbs come from bread, crisps and wine :S

It always makes me chuckle when people make blanket statements like" low carb is a myth" what?! Please! I eat 40-60 net carbs under MD guidance my A1c is now in a normal range and i feel better than i have in a long time. We are all different and need to eat to what our own bodies tell us and with MD and nutritionist advice if needed. I am not hungry because I feed my body what it needs and I have plenty of energy for activity also.

Oh goody, another thread about attacking people who have success in a different way than you.
Also, you can get some delicious salads, veggies, and meats when you eat out. Not an issue.

That's cute. I guess I never go out with friends then. Glad you set me straight.

On an average day, I eat 4-5 cups of green vegetables, lots of dairy, eggs, and some meat. I even eat at fast food restaurants because it's possible to make good choices there too.

Carnivor0us

Some really low carb values getting put on here. Low carb dieting is a complete myth.

You mean like a 'here be dragons" myth or an urban legend type of myth? Do I need to get a camera crew and hike around the Pacific Northwest in search of this mythical low carb dieter?
