Carbs

How many carbs are a good number to go by? I'm 3 and a half months post op, doing great and down 65 lbs but I feel like I may be eating too many carbs. I usually eat between 30-50 but feel like that may be too high?

  • I think that's pretty normal. I get around that too and am just over 3 months out. The only carbs I get are from protein shakes or veggies.

I think that's pretty normal. I get around that too and am just over 3 months out. The only carbs I get are from protein shakes or veggies.

I'm six months out and was told at least 80 and no more than 120-140. I try to stay around 100.

I was trying to ride between 30 and 50 grams, but my primary told me to eat some crabs for crying out loud because I was passing out. Whatever. So, I am probably riding between 50-75 now, but not every day.

I am very sensitive to carbs. I am six months out and if I want to lose weight each week I have to keep my carbs below15- 20 gm/day. I think that is on the low end. However,If I eat more than that I don't lose anything that week. I track everything on my fitness pal so I am able to see how my carbs/calories/protein intake affects my weight loss. I suggest tracking everything to determine what works best for you. Some people do better with low cal, some better with low carb.

I don't know if this helps or not, but my NUT has this plan for us: half your plate is protein, half carbs. Focus on the protein, but try to eat it all. Make sure it is all nutrient dense. I hope it helps!

It depends on my day and the type of carbs. I try for complex carbs that come from my bean, dairy, veg & fruit. I limit or avoid white, simple carbs. I vary anywhere from 30 - 70. If I am excising 5 days a week and eating carbs I lose. If I workout less than 3 days a week without reducing carbs I don't lose.
