Carbs

How many carbs a day are you eating? I'm curious to see what everyone else's NUTs have said. Mine said 75-100 g a day. I'm 6 weeks out. I often fall below, however.

Carbs or Protein? That sounds sort of high for carbs. Mine is that range for Protein but much lower for carbs (ideally less than 50 grams I think).

Nope, carbs. I definitely eat that much Protein (75 on average) but my carbs are usually around 50. Was just curious as to what others were eating per their NUT.

Hmmm...well every surgeon / NUT seems to be different which certainly is annoying isn't it? Hopefully others longer into this will comment.

I track everything via myfitnesspal or I would not know this.

My main focus is obviously Protein. My goal has been set for a minimum of 70 per day, 1 gram for every inch I am tall.

I have found that if I stay around 1000 to 1200 calories per day and limit my good carbs to around 85 to 90 max, I lose on average about 2.75 pounds per week which is good for how far along in the process I am.

I will say that I try to focus all of my carbs on good carbs like fruits and vegetables. Occasionally I will have a small amount of potatoes or a bite of rice and it doesn't bother me. If I have a day where my plate is not balanced well, I will stall out and it will take me a week or so to get back on track with weight loss.

I am 35lbs from my goal and have lost 110 lbs.
