How many grams of Carbs are you eating? 1 month post-op

I'm keeping track of my calories/protein/water on MFP and don't need help with those, but I'm not sure what to set my carb limit as? I'm 1 month out and have been released by my doctor to have all foods. He doesn't have very extensive or strict guidelines so I'm wondering what's everyone else's average carb intake? Right now, my carbs are usually between 70-80 grams per day.

I was told to keep my carbs under half of what my protein goal is. So if my protein goal is 70-90 then my carb goal would be 35-45

80 protein 40 carbs.

I didn't get the half protein guideline but that is where I have been falling. Good advice.

My doc/nutritionalist have me under tight reigns for carbs. I think it's because I'm so high bmi wise. 15 carbs and aim for 80-100 Protein per day.

For me that means all those >1 carb pretty much add up to my carb intake. Sometimes I pick a smaller portion of something that falls into the 15g per serving range to get variety, like yogurt or Beans.

15 carbs is really good. You will have success by keeping your carbs at this level for 5-6 months.
