What a good carb amout to take in for a day

We have a stickie at the top of the group called the Launch Pad. It's full of all kinds of low-carb info and links to off-site resources like recipe sites, too.

Here's a link to a low-carb overview that has a section to help you decide where you'd like to keep your carbs, based upon your goals, personal preference, and any medical issues you might have.

Inside it discusses different carb levels.
Low-carb diets range from 120-150g all the way down to <20g. It just depends on your needs.
Read the short overview, and it will give you some guidance.
Of course, if you still have questions after that, we're here.

That depends on your goals and your own body. Do you want to be in ketosis or simply low carb? Decide that and then you have to just try it out and see how you feel. Tweaking as you go, learning what works for your body.

Personally I have to do almost zero carb to feel good and lose weight but others can do up to 100g.

OP---the vast vast majority of LCers consume below 150g. Some do 100, a few do less then 50, and very very very minor group do <50. It is goal dependent and activity level dependent. You'll read of LCers consuming 200+ carbs due to exercise above and beyond what others do. None of this means much of anything except individually you may find what you believe to be important or relevant as a MACRO. Experiment, find what you adhere best to, and enjoy the time. Best of luck.

Less than 20g carbs works for me.

I'm in the 20-35g range of carbs per day.
