I am keeping track of EVERYTHING that I eat...

I am just wondering if anyone counts their carb intake, and if you do what do you try to keep it around??

Thanks!

Geez, what does that feel like ... to be so slim after being so heavy?

Also, how tall are you?

Not really. I count Protein grams (at least 75g per day) and counted calories (roughly) during my losing phase when I was told I wasn't getting enough food. I shot for 1000-1200 per day and just tried to balance the rest between fat and carbs in MFP, but never really paid much attention to anything besides protein.

I track everything on MyFitnessPal and I focus on getting 60+ grams of protein. Right after surgery, I tried to keep my carb intake very low (<50), but the dietitian told me I need at least 125-150 grams of carbs for proper brain function etc. I have my 1000 calorie MyFitnessPal set at 50% carbs (125 grams), 25% protein (63 grams) and 25% fat (28 grams).

We are on similar pages. NUT has my carbs set at 40-45% and those should be from plant-based whole foods like veggies and fruits...which helps with net carbs because of fiber.

I am at a semi-stall & panicked because I thought it was the carbs but I lift weights and notice my clothes are still getting looser. So it seems to be still working out.

I will be at 7 months on Valentine's and am down a total of 80lbs.

I am 7 weeks out and only allowed 25 grams of carbs. It is really difficult to stay that low. Vitamin water zero for example has 4-5 carbs. A half a banana has 16 carbs so I usually get between 30-35.

Thanks to this post I am losing more now. My surgeon nor nutritionist told me how many carbs to stay under. I think I was eating too many.
