    Up to 150 natural carbs a day is good for maintaining weight and other healthy faculties. :)

    People tend to forget, you NEED carbs for survival. It's about finding the right carbs. My carb allowance for the day is like 225g. I eat whole grain breads, whole grain muffins, whole grain pasta, fruit and vegetables. Those are all the right carbs.

    We do not NEED carbs for survival. Grains are not necessarily the right carbs for most people either.

    Carbs should come mostly from nuts and vegetables and fruits in very small amounts.

    I find that if I keep my carbs to 40% of my total calories to 30% protein & 30% healthy fats my sugar cravings go away & I lose weight easier. If you are interested you can change your % by changing your goals & doing custom settings. It's important to balance your carbs at each meal too. The 1st 3 days you still have sugar cravings, but by day 4 they disappear.
