That's a good question for your nut. Each person is so different in terms of where they are in their weight loss, activity level,etc., that the nut. is the best source for this info. My nutritionist has a rule of thumb: if I'm eating a cup of food, I should eat 3/4 Protein, 7/8 veggies, 1/8 carbs. She's not really into weighing everything. I eat almost no carbs except quinoa, and then only 1/8- 1/4 c. at the most. Any other carb I get is from fresh fruit.< /p>

I would be very interested in what your nutritionist says. If you're logging your food (and exercise), a 30%/30%/40% ratio of carb/fat/protein would probably be a good starting point. I lost 130lbs in 13 months using that very general guideline. My surgeon requires her patients to eat 100g of Protein a day so I often exceeded the 40% protein. If you are logging, you might want to ask your nut to give you a carb/fat/protein percentage ratio for easier input into your app. My Fitness Pal will give you a snapshot in the form of a pie chart of those three numbers at any time. Makes it easy to see where you're at after each meal and, if necessary, make adjustments in the next meal.

I was told not to go over 50 carbs a day.
