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

    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.

    160-225g.
    It varies.
    Macros are set at 45%C, 25%P, 30%F
    Has been the same sort of ratio for a long time for me.

    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.

    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:

    <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.

    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.

    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...

    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

    By living a socially reclusive life where you only eat meat that is cooked by yourself.
