    I get 200g+ per day. Why do you think you should cut out carbs?

    If you plateau. Saying that some folks that low carb and hit a plateau start seeing results again when they add back some carbs - particularly if they are exercising a fair bit.

    I'm around 250 carbs for today. I'm happy.

    If you're wanting lower carbs, cutting out most grains will usually do the trick. I'm not against low carbs. There's been proof that it can work, but I personally don't dig it.

    I'm looking at your profile and am somewhat questioning why you are trying to lose any further. 18% BF is already fairly low- well beyond "fitness" and into "athlete" range. Also your diary looks fantastic.

    If you really want to lose further, I wouldn't stress horribly about carbs, though it does look like you eat some breads which you can get rid of pretty easily and replace with other things like proteins and fats. But I think you look pretty fantastic- both physically and in your eating habits. Don't stress so much.

    I eat a lot of carbs, but then again I am not really affected by them. (: anyway, I guess you can try to focus on protein and other things like that but your diary looks awesome! :D

    Whenever I do eat BREAD, I only eat one slice I either fold it in half with toppings inside, or eat whatever it is open face. Great way to keep those carbs down..

    yeh, that's what I do. I also put my bread in freezer as I have been known to eat heaps of slices with butter and Vegemite. It just doesnt fill me up.

    I am typically under my carbs, you can check out my food diary if you want. I still eat breads, thin pizza and fruits, etc. and don't seem to have a problem

    Also, if you factor in your fiber, 1g of fiber cancels out 1g of carbs.

    That's good to know !!

    How about replacing one of your sandwiches (dinner or lunch) with some grilled chicken/fish and a double serving of vegetables like steamed broccoli, cauliflower, green beans, carrots, zucchini, squash... That should cut your carbs on that meal roughly in half.

    I eat lots of carbs, only whole grain and as clean as possible, Try changing the bran of bread. check the label to see if the used refined flour. or get a bread maker and make your own. Search for Clean Eating breads on google.

    Your diet looks really good.
    Cutting carbs is the only way I can drop pounds. Maybe replacing the sandwich for dinner w/lettuce wraps w/veggies. I can only do one whole grain meal per day, the rest is fruits, veggies, esp legumes.
    Hope you find something that works for you =)

    What you're eating is fine. Don't falling into the hype of needing to cut carbs. Maintain a caloric deficit and the weight will come off. No point changing up a diet you seem to stick to for a diet of "low carbs".

    Enjoy your bread.
