I'm trying to come up with a max number of carbs for each day. What's your carb limit?

Just about everything has some carbs....unless you eat nothing but meat, chicken,o r fish....even veggies have carbs....I try to stay below 45 gm a day.

On a great day, I'll stay under 25 grams.

On a wild and crazy day....it'll still be under 100 grams.

Normal.....under 50 grams.

Seem to hit about 75 grams a day average, but have gotten as low as 20 and as high as 150 depending.

I don't count carbs. But I avoid sweets entirely, and I avoid these starches: white rice, potatoes, corn, white bread, ordinary Pasta, crackers and chips.

I do eat legumes like black & kidney Beans, edamame and chickpeas a few times per week, 1 piece of fruit per day, and 1 portion a day of whole grain bread or low sugar whole grain cold Cereal or low sugar hot oatmeal.

Surgery group recommendation is under 50g, I tend to average 20-30, sometimes less.

Less than 12% of my calories for the day.

I try to stay under 30 net carbs. It pretty easy and i have a big salad every afternoon as my snack.

I never had a limit, and still don't. If your calories are low enough to stimulate the weight loss that you need, and your Protein levels are high enough to maintain your lean mass, your diet will by default be "low carb" and "low fat". Indeed, this is one of the reasons that WLS has been the most successful means of weight control for decades - it works well with whatever diet is the fad of the day.

As a reference, my carbs the first few months averaged in the 70-90 range and in the later months when I needed to increase the complex carbs for endurance purposes they averaged in the 100-120 range and my loss remained steady.

This is a case where quality is much more important than quantity. Some may keep their carbs at some low number by having a lot of low carb junk - artificially sweetened crap and low carb frankenfoods - and will have more problems than those with higher carb numbers coming from real food with real nutrition - fruits, veg, whole grains and the like.

I don't count carbs per se.

I choose to avoid starches and added sugars and look at the carb/sugar content for individual foods and try to keep that number low.

My program doesn't give me a carb limit, but in order to get my Protein and calories in (which means protein plus some fat, my carbs range from 40-60/day with a calorie intake from 800-900.

I try to stay under 50.

I usually come in around 40 or less per day - that's total carbs, not net carbs. I'm 18 months out.
