Carbs

About how many grams of carbs do you eat in a day?

[aroundhky 1,174]

On days I exercise...... about 60-80. On days I don't exercise.......no more than 40. For me, carbs can be a good thing or a bad thing depending on 1-type of carb (whole grains and slow digesting carbs are better than simple or processed carbs) and 2-when they are consumed. I eat my slow digesting carbs (beans, brocolli, nuts, etc) around my workouts.

But everyone has their own unique sensitivity or lack of sensitivity to carbs. Try to find out what works best for you in consideration of your nutritionists guidelines and go from there.
