Carb Counting?

[RJC5197 282]

I am a little over 6 weeks out and NUT moved me to 800 calories a day, and to increase fats if needed.

I am getting in about 100 grams a day of Protein, and 50 grams of carbs, 25 grams fat a day.

My NUT did not indicate the amount of carbs to insure I continue to lose at optimum levels.

I am ramping up my daily gym workouts, as well as getting back on the bike, so I need complex carbs for energy, but do not want to over do it.

Any direction, or is this mostly an individual thing, and why NUT did not give any direction?

My NUT didn't provide any advice on this either. I found a very helpful chart on Bariatric Times. It is from a research article called "Recommended Levels of Carbohydrate after Bariatric Surgery". It has the breakdown of everything you need to watch.

my program isn't an ultra-low carb program - it's more of a balanced program. I was told to avoid simple carbs and limit complex carbs. I usually eat under 80 carbs a day, though and only very rarely go over 100.

Just in case the link in my previous post does not work. Here it is in plain text.
