It depends, ~ 75g on normal days but on carbs refeed days when I workout very hard I go up to ~250g carbs and drop the fat to ~50g. Here's why I do this: http://www.marksdailyapple.com/dear-mark-should-i-increase-carb-intake-for-weight-loss/#axzz434qarcyJ0

50 net. This level has worked really well for me in terms of weight loss. 93lbs and counting!0

Thanks for all the responses, I blew it this weekend.. had a wedding, but starting tomorrow I think I will try for 75 or less carbs a day and do that for a couple of weeks and will try to get to 50 a day..I am glad to see that weight loss can happen at 50 grams I don't think I could sustain 20 or less a day.. I figure I will try and keep my calories around 1300- 1400 calories a day.0

But the carbs come almost all from fibrous veggies that are fiber rich. So the net is arguably lower.
I'd guess I'm a bit higher but like you, with lots of fiber rich vegetables. I probably net around 50-60. I don't honestly know most of the time.

Usually at the most 35 total carbs but always 20 or less net carbs0

I need to revise my answer from above. I was between 50-75 but now I'm attempting keto, hoping that <30g per day will do it.0

I was at about 20g total with most of my carbs coming from nuts, avocado, eggs and cheese. Some days were down to 5 and others up over 30g.
I am now attempting lower (lowest? LOL) carb with basically no plant products as a self experimentation. I do tend to feel better the lower my carbs are, but I have IR and some autoimmune issues so my circumstance won't apply to most.0 -
I've never heard of WOE. I'm trying to stay below 100 carbs a day, which I find is pretty easy if I try. 80 grams definitely sounds doable. I should check that out and see what else it entails.0

I'm under 100, but never eat more than 30 at each meal. Since I usually eat twice a day, most days are around 50. I am aware of calories, but do not track them specifically. I've lost 10 lbs since I started weighing myself at the end of January---30 to go!0

WOE stand for Way Of Eating

The last couple of days I have been trying to keep carbs lower but it will definitely be a process, I am still just over 100..I need to eat less fruit, I have cut out the bread, potatoes, and rice..0

Net - under 50, total- 50-75. I eat a lot of veggies and sometimes potatoes.0

It's definitely a process so don't get discouraged! It will take time and practice. Looking at the nutritional data of the foods you are eating and logging them in MFP will help you. When I first started Keto I aimed for 100g carbs per day for the first month. The second month my goal was 75g carbs per day. Third month my goal was 50g carbs per day, etc. Now, 18.5 months later, my daily total carb intake tends to fall in the range of 20-35g carbs. I don't like to go over 39g carbs per day at all.
I am also new, so I think I will try and keep it at the 100. Then work on dropping it. I am not diabetic, just needing to loose weight and strengthen my back muscles.0 -
I'm coming up on 2 weeks of Keto and I fluctuate between 15-22 net carbs. I'm losing lbs according to the scale, but my pants still fit the same

I wouldn't worry too much, you might be one of those people like me that lose weight in their face/fingers/ankles first. I wish I lost weight from my stomach, but it's the last place I do.

Stomach is my 2nd goal, I really want to lose my face weight first so I look/feel like my old self.0

10-20 net carbs per day.0
