Carbs!?

theCoke

Hello! I am new to the site and also new to counting carbs. I have usually ignored carbs and focused on fat and calories. Now I am seeing that I eat a LOT of carbs--every single day. I am vegetarian so that is a factor. What has been your experience with limiting or ignoring carbs?

Thanks!

Ignore carbs and worry more about calories + protein intake. Make sure you get ample protein, 1g per pound lean body mass, and make sure you are in your caloric limit.

That's what matters most.

for me carbs are my enemy so i watch them very closely along with calories.

Hi

I am a vegetarian too and have been keeping a eye on my carbs and so far no problems. I just cut out having bread/pasta every single day. I will have it when i really want it instead of just having it to have. Why not have a look in the recipes section? There is some good veggie ideas there.
Hope this helps
Good luck

I'm very concerned about carb intake. I pay more attention to proteins, fat and fiber than anything else. Calories to me are a guideline. Lots of veggies are really good. And, don't forget the water, especially if you eat a lot of fiber. Fiber is very filling, and they digest slower. Makes you feel fuller longer. I cut out plain white bread and pasta almost completely.
