Carbs

[Yadifan 23]

Hey all!! Just wondering if you guys are eating carbs and if so how many per day?

[RickM 1,747]

Absolutely - I couldn't afford the side effects that can accompany the low carb diets. These days in maintenance it is usually in the 150-200 g range (on a 2000-ish calorie diet) while when losing it usually wound up in the 70-120 g range (though I had/have no particular goals for it; it is what it is when everything else balances out nutritionally; same for fats.)

I’ve only been eating around 5 to 10g of carbs a day. I think it’s why I keep stalling. I’m 8 weeks post op.

Honestly, I find that doing some form of a carb up every few weeks breaks a stall.

I actually had a 2 bites of a chicken soft shell taco last night and 2 bites of refried Beans at a Mexican place for my daughters bday. Her pick. It was first time that I had eaten out since surgery. I tried the shell to see if I could tolerate and I did fine. Today my stall broke. Been stalled for 7 days. So I think there’s truth in that statement!!

My usual is 30-50 carbs a day. I will say the few times I’ve gone up to 70 carbs my “stalls” have broken too. But I’m happy at 30-50 most days since I still need to get 60g Protein before that.

Usually 30-50 here— but not intentionally tracking carbs but it’s in my journal app. Happens to be aligned with the Protein meals Im eating

I’m 5 weeks post sleeve and my nutritionist has me doing 75-100/day.

Seems to be around 60-100. I asked my nutritionist if I should be tracking my carbs. They said not really. Just eat them in moderation.

Ok so looks like I’m really low on the carb end. Thanks everyone!! Going to have to try to raise my carb intake and hopefully will help with my stall!! Really appreciate your answers!!!
