    As for them being set high, they aren't. According to the Mayo Clinic, a healthy carb load is around 200 grams or fewer (so, yes, 300 is a lot, but ...). My carbs are set way below 200 on this site.

    Based on that, 58% might be high for some. Everybody should double-check their settings and make sure they're within range.

    Theres nothing wrong with carbs, theyre just a double-edged sword and best if most are.consumed before, during, and post exercise.

    During exercise? I can barely keep up with Zumba as is. No way I could eat and do it!

    HA HA that's really funny :laugh: depends on the exercise, Zumba not included! Think a long bike ride, 4-6 hours. Cyclists stop and eat a few times.

    blessings.

    Ah yes! I do snack when on an all day hike.
