allyrenee222 25 Posted February 2, 2014 OK so I know the big focus is on Protein but how many carbs do you get in a day? Today I got around 40 and I am 6 weeks out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Carlotta1 401 Posted February 2, 2014 My target for calorie intake is 800 calories per day and 65-70 grams of Protein . If I consume 70 gr of Protein, which equals to 280 calories, then the rest of calories come from carb/fat. I stick to not going over 800 calories per day. However, I do sometimes go over 70 gram of protein, which lessens the carb/ fat that I consume that day. How many calories r u targeting per day.? My goal is to each 1000 calories by the end of the third month, April.. based on what my nut provided. I am not interested in losing too fast. I feel that a healthy variety of foods will set a healthy habit for me in the long run. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sophiepants 489 Posted February 2, 2014 I'm 5 months out and try for 1000 calories and 75 carbs. I was getting under 50 carbs but kept getting light headed so I'm upping the carb to see if I was to low. I get 80-100 grams of Protein a day. I don't track much else. Sugar meh I keep low less than 20. No one told me to use these numbers but they are working for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

allyrenee222 25 Posted February 2, 2014 It's just crazy to me how little I can eat. I message out 3 ounces of stuff and get maybe an ounce. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hatters 47 Posted February 3, 2014 Most days I am at 15 carbs or under. Every two weeks I allow myself to have a big carb day which is around 60 carbs. But my body has alway reacted bad to carbs/sugar. I am a sugar addict. If I start to crave sugar/carbs then I know I need to lower my daily intake. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
