Quick question what is the recommendation for the amount of carbs you can eat in a day. Is there a set number? I have been doing between 15 to 30 carbs a day.

    I tend to stay at or under 20 grams net carbs. All other calories should come from 20-25% protein and 70-75% fat.

    I'm always under 20 total carbs (I don't follow net carbs). On average I am 10-15 total a day

    @tifano: Any way you'd be willing to share a typical day food diary?

    Sure...Here's today. My breakfast and lunch almost never change. NOTE: I'm not the best clean keto eater. Also I always prefill and plan my day out so I haven't had the 2nd fat bomb or the tea with coconut oil. I'll have those after dinner. Tonight's dinner is just grilled hamburgers.

    I forgot to add... This puts my total calories for today at 1781, 11 total carbs, 164 grams of fat and 65 grams of protein. I usually try to stay between 55-60 but today I'm going a little over on protein.

    I think that's the key. I am in a plateau for more than one month.

    hi everyone!
    carbs grams high limit of 40... accounts for unprepared days, so I don't stress about it but typically keep it under 25g... don't worry net carbs, just total... easier for me....
    if you think you are at a plateau... found an article that states up the protein taken in... it can restart everything...
    I'll try to find it and provide the link...
