    I don't know what CH is, either, and I've been around a while...

    I believe it means carbs.

    My carb intake goal is around 250g a day; 5'7, 158lbs, SW 188lbs. I've never really gone below ~180g of carbs.

    For the past 1.5 weeks that I have been back on the plan to lose weight, I've been under 200 some days and under 100 on a few. I am still finding that correct balance and adjusting as I learn what works for me. Some days I am feeling i want more carbs, but I end up with smaller portions and other days I want to eat big so I have been eating less carbs on those days for a bigger meal:)

    I know I'm still not logging totally correct yet. Still learning my way around the database options, but I do have a scale now. Getting the correct calories in at this point is my main goal and as I progress and learn I will focus more on everything else.

    I usually eat under my goal. Unintentionally. I only worry about getting enough protein, so carbs and fat ect just end up wherever it is they end up.

    Sometimes when I want a treat and don't have room for it, I will leave the potato/rice/bread/insert other carb here out of my meals to make room. They are exposable to me. :)

    If it is carbs I average 200-300g a day across the last week (lowest 165g, highest 335g)

    I don't normally pay it any attention, I just try to get 100g protein minimum daily and everything else is come what may

    I aim for less than 150, but that's because I'm more focussed on getting enough fat and protein and just fill in the rest with carbs where they fit.

    Mine too.

    My target of carbs is 158 with a doctor ordered maximum of 180 (T2 diabetic) no matter how many extra exercise calories I have. I typically get 35 or so grams of fiber so my net can vary from 125-145.

    I don't track sugar, only total carbs and fiber so I don't know what my C&H level is. Also, I usually buy store brand sugar which is beet sugar or a combination of beet and cane so my C&H level is likely 0.
