How Many Carbs Do You Eat Daily?



Recommended Posts

I'm using myfitnesspal so I'm getting a good idea of my carb consumption & wondered what most of you try to stick to? Or do some of you not keep count? Just curious....

How far out are you? I am 5 weeks out and honestly I haven't kept a strict count on anything bc I know I'm not eating near enough to do any damage. I am pretty much living on Protein Drink and Water. :/ Sorry I couldn't be of much help,I would ask your nutritionist how many carbs you should be having.

I don't track my carbs at all. Actually, I guess MFP tracks them anyway and I just looked. Yesterday I had 65 carbs, along with 73 g of Protein and 72 oz of Water. I concentrate on the protein and water and let the rest fall where it may.

Lissa I agree with you , after getting getting the Water and Protein in there is not much more room. We all need some carb, so I tend not worry about that too.

I run about 175 grams per day. But, I know that's not the norm here. I've lost 30 pounds in six weeks, for what its worth.

I have eaten at least 100 carbs a day for the past 4 months........

I never controlled to carbs, only Protein and Water. I was typically running 70-100 per day the first three months or so and 100-120 per day after that, when I started adding some complex carb to better fuel workout endurance. Now, in maintenance, I'm typically running in the 150-200 range. Not playing the low carb/ketosis game certainly didn't slow down my weight loss (or at least I sure didn't want to lose any faster.)

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
