    I eat about 225-250 and I lose about 1 pound every 5 days. I'm about 3 pounds away from my goal. I've been a carb eater my whole life and never had a problem. Only needed to lose 12 pounds total caused by eating huge portions over the years and finally catching up with me in my old age. I've never had any problem with carbs and I refuse to live without them! Just stay away from refined and highly processed carbs. Eat whole grains etc. Good luck! :flowerforyou:

    I tend to err on the side of too much protein. I figure I'm working out hard, doing strength training since I'm working on reducing my fat %, I could use more protein to build muscle. I know when I'm not getting enough carbs if I have trouble concentrating; this is esp true earlier in the day if I've mostly had proteins w/o carbs then I'd be really sluggish and sleepy.

    Yeah I am losing about 1 pound per week on 210ish. Theyre all good carbs but I get worried sometimes that its too much!

    I'm usually between 100 and 150 because that lets me have fruit now that it's summer and things are coming back into season.

    20g to 50g Depends on how much I've exercised and what's going on.

    10% of my calories are carbs, so I eat under 45 g carbs a day. Actually, that would be NET carbs. I subtract fiber & sugar alcohols.

    depending on exercise I eat about 100-120, and havent been doing this for long, I feel like I look less bloated. I dont like to weigh myself so I am not sure on scale weight and I dont have a ton to lose so looking less bloated is great! Since switching I feel less hungry thorughout the day when I dont eat the carbs. I was binge eating like crazy until I started limiting my carbs. I felt like a crazy person ALWAYS starving. NOT ANYMORE! WHOO HOO!
