Carbs!

in Food and Nutrition
I usually go over on my suggested carbs. I'm not afraid of them but I do question if it is bad to always go over. I eat a lot of fruit plus the carbs that come from daily food. Should I try and ease up or will this not be too detrimental?
Thank you for any help!

    as long as you are in calorie deficit you will be fine..

    I would recommend trying to hit/stay within your macro settings/goals….

    there is nothing bad about carbs...

    There's nothing wrong with carbs as long as you're in your calorie goal, and as long as you are not diabetic or something else that would make you sensitive to the glycemic load of carbs.

    With that said, protein should be your priority. I usually shoot for 30% of my calories to come from protein. Fat and carbs fill in differently depending on if I am working out that day or not.

    I agree with this. Sweet and tangy fruits have a good amount of fiber, but convert to simple sugars. If you are getting mostly complex carbs and staying at your target calorie goal, you should be fine.

    The concern is whether or not you are getting enough protein.
