How Many Carbs

Also I can NOT figure out how to get my pic on profile I don't see it under settings!

They told me to get from 60-80 grams of Protein a day and to get about twice that many carbs ( 120-160) . That would be 240-320 calories of protein and about 480-640 calories of carbs. That works out to 720-960 calories. They also said to try to keep each meal to less than 5 grams of fat. That would be another 15-25 grams of fat per day. That works out to another 135-225 calories. The total would be 855-1185 calories a day.

I am 9 1/2 months out. I do 70 carbs a day. I still lose 2 pounds a week still. It's all in what kind, how much exercise you do and what your body wants. There is NO WAY I could do my hour a day workouts on 20 carbs. You will be able to feel what is right for your body.

Let me say though that I don't eat near that many carbs I don't think. They said not to worry too much about carbs, just don't eat a lot of white sugar or flour and eat your Protein first.

I work out an hour or more daily six days per week on 20-30 carbs. I did find that when I worked out for two or more hours I needed to add a bit extra. Also, my NUT told me that at maintenance I would be eating 100 or so carbs daily. It just goes to show the wide variation out there - in our bodies reaction and in what we are told by out NUTs.
