carbs

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.

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.

What do you get most of your protein from?

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.

Protein source.egg whites, chicken, pork, beef, cottage cheese, mozzarella sticks,(weight watchers brand), smoothie king low cal --high protein shakes, lifetime fitness protein shakes I get after a work out , salmon, shrimp, smoked salmon, fish, ..

It's just crazy to me how little I can eat. I message out 3 ounces of stuff and get maybe an ounce.

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.
