100 carbs a day healthy?

Seriously, I see people saying they eat below 20 carbs a day and it's scary. Thats not even enought for a lettuce and tomato whole grain sandwich..

Will I still lose weight if I eat 100ish carbs a day? The way I see it, thats enough for a sandwich, veggies, fruit and milk with my coffee

I'm 18 and in school, so I dont need the light headedness that comes with extreme low carb diets =]

You don't have to do low carb to lose weight.

I have around 200g of carbs a day (set to 50%) and I've lost weight perfectly fine. Low-carb might work for some people but it certainly doesn't work for everyone. I'd feel too moody and tired to carry on with a low-carb diet and I'd just gain the weight back the second I began eating my preferred amount of carbs again.

Low Carb is one of a million APPROACHES to weightloss. It's not THE ultimate key to weightloss. Works for many, some ppl tend to be more carb sensitive than others. Everyone is different!
If you do not feel comfortable with a small amount of carbs, then it's probably not for you :-)
Don let anything like this worry you. Stick to what feels right, eat healthy whole foods, don't starve yourself and exercise regularly.

I remember what school was like when I was 18. Had some major exams so I HAD to eat plenty to keep me fueled, and to be honest, as long as it was healthy, I didn't give a ****e about carbs and was as slim as ever.

For the record, I eat between 100-200g a day, sometimes maybe more, depends. It works, not gaining fat ;-)

So, if your diet is healthy and balanced and you workout, you should be fine :-)

I eat anything between 150g and 250g of carbs on any given day, and try to get in around 100g of protein (sometimes I get a little more, sometimes it's a fair bit less) and have dropped 30lbs since the end of February.

I tend to burn around 400-500 cals per day on a rest day, and somewhere around 800+ cals on a work out day, I go to the gym 3 times a week and work mostly on weights while I'm there (just a little cardio thrown in to warm up and cool down before and after my sessions).

I tend to load up on carbs the day before my gym session and load up on proteins on gym days. I didn't conciously do that - it's just a pattern I've noticed.

I say find what works for you and stick withit as long as it continues to work. If it stops working, change things around a little, try something new, and find something else that works. Don't be afraid to experiment and don't be afraid of carbs - they are an essential part of your eating plan, along with all the others parts (including fat! Good fats are, well, good!).

For the majority of the population, a male who is 170 pounds and lower or woman who is 150 pounds and lower should each be eating at least 100g carbs a day, with adding 5 more carbs for every 10 pounds over that weight and 25 more for every 30 minutes of easier exercise (jogging, endurance work, etc.) exercise or 40g for every half an hour of intense exercise (heavy free weights, sprinting, etc) for that day of eating. Let's take me for example, I'm a 230 pound male who works out for about an hour and a half on a workout day, on these days I'd do about half an hour of light exercise for my warmup and cooldown, then an hour of hard, heavy lifting. This would mean that I'd want to consume 235g of carbs for that day to keep my liver and thyroid in peak condition and increasing fat burning capabilities Oh also, males over 35% bodyfat and females over 40% should use their LBM (lean body mass) instead of their actual weight. For protein needs, males - 1g per pound of bodyweight, and females - 0.75g per pound will suffice for most people, and then simply fill in extra calories with fat, but again, there's a minimum to keep hormones healthy and working properly. Males - 0.4g per pound of bodyweight and Females - 0.3g per pound. Note that the per pound rule does again go out if you're over the body fat percentage I stated earlier, which means it's back to the LBM So, for another example, a 160 pound female who jogs for an hour each day would want to hit these numbers in her diet:
120g of Protein
160g of Carbs
At least 48g of Fat (add more to reach fullness)

And a 200 pound male on a sedentary day:
200g of Protein
115g of Carbs
At least 80g of Fat (add more to reach fullness)

Ok, done now Oh crap, almost forgot fiber. Try to hit about 30g of fiber each day. So yeah, avoid wheat, eat your required macronutrients for the day, get your fiber in, and enjoy the spoils of fat loss You'll be losing about 1-2 pounds a week if you've got a bit to lose, and about 0.5 pounds a week if you're already skinny and looking to get crazy lean Haha
