    I'm a carbovore myself. Fresh bread, rice, potatoes, pasta. Yum. I can go without most sugary stuff but bread right out of the oven? :heart:

    I'm also half Korean half Italian so if I tried to cut out carbs my meals would be so sad!

    Italian here..if I renounced carbs, I would have to renounce my heritage...lol

    You can have my carbs when you pry them from my cold, dead hands (and just fyi: I *will* fight for them and I *will* fight dirty)

    Oatmeal
    bagels
    Thick, chewy crusted pizza.
    Squash: butternut and delicata. I've eaten entire butternut squashes in one sitting (~2lbs)
    And my daily carb overload: a big bowl of Kashi cereal mixed with chocolate pudding and sliced strawberries. YUM

    Love pizza! If it weren't for the cap-busting fat I'd have more. My friend is also a fan of Kashi cereal. I haven't checked it out yet. Maybe I should.

    Anyways, just upped my carb intake to 380g daily. Fats have been bumped 10g as well. Club 400 soon.

    As they said above you can do it. Just need to be at a deficit. I happen to tolerate carbs very well but also had to work up my intake from a mere 100g daily. Took me a few months to get to 380g daily.

    Interesting side note: As I was walking up my carb intake I actually started leaning out more (because I was actually close to starvation macros). So I was eating more food AND still leaning out at the same time.

    In....for the carbs...I dont crush as many as you OP but I aim for about 30% of my diet from carbs...

    30% is good. I think mesomorphs tend to hover around 40% carbs. I'm assuming your fats are pretty high then?

    I love carbs too! However being a vegetarian it's hard for my carb intake to be too low

    In for the carbs!

    Yesterday was long run day--MFP told me my goal was 424g of carbs. I managed 346. The largest single source was the pizza I had for lunch, but I also had toast, a PopTart, tortillas, and a Blue Moon pumpkin ale.

    Didn't have any in the house, but my absolute favorite carb source is crusty bread hot out of the oven...mmm...

    Kashi cereal is pretty good. Its not the best tasting cereal out there (that title is reserved for Captain Crunch (with crunch berries, of course) and that is another wonderful carb monster that could have its own post). To be honest, its pretty bland, but not offensive tasting. The blandness is a good thing, i guess, because it can be dressed up in so many ways. It also has a wonderful amount of complete protein and fiber.
