How many grams of carbs are people eating daily?

[tanqueray 16]

Question for the group...how many grams of carbs are you eating? I have a Realize band and track all my food consumption on their web site so I know exactly how many carbs I am consuming. But what is "normal" for us bandsters? I am going to email my nutritionist but I wanted to hear what others are consuming too.

Thanks. This site is marvelous and I can't imagine going through this journey without this site.

Good question, one I wish I could answer. But, when I got my first fill on Friday, the ARNP that filled me told me, when I told her that my Protein bars weren't helping the hunger, that in order for Protein Bars to be effective, they need to have at least 15 grams of Protein.< /p>

But, she also said if they have more than 12 grams of carbs, you might as well just eat a Snickers bar.

I had not heard this....and I'm looking forward to hearing what other's respond about their carb intake.

Well, the Snickers Bar certainly sounds better!! :sad:

Alas, that was my "old" life. I only buy Protein Bars that have 15 or more grams of Protein. I have to believe (or pretend) this is better than Snickers.

My Nutritionist said to keep it under 50 grams.

I actually just emailed my nutritionist to ask.

I am to aim for 60 gms of Protein a day, no more than 5gms of fat per serving. No more than 15 gms of carbs per serving. My book doesn't have a total for carbs in one day. Only the Protein count. It does have a liquid amount...6-8 cups per day.

I eat no more then 10 grams of whole carbs (not net) a day sometimes less. I get my Protein in the things that I eat (per my Doctor) and I go to the gym daily.
