Morning Everyone,

I am a calorie counter and am feeling that my carb intake is on the high side (240 grams/day) and wanted to see how many carbs you eat in a typical day.

I know that the good and bad carbs get lumped together this way, but I need a number to shoot for. If I cut down to 200 grams/day is that too low?

I eat 1600-1800 calories/day. I workout 6 days/week and burn an average of 400 calories/workout. Most of my carbs come from lean meats, dairy, veggies and fruits with very few coming from junk foods.

Thanks

If most of your carbs are coming from good sources, and you are getting ample protein, I honestly wouldn't worry about it too much. I eat 1300-1600 cals a day and average 200g of carbs.

I wouldn't worry about it either, if your carbs are from whole grains, fruit, veggies, etc. and not from Pop Tarts and Froot Loops.

Hey there!

I average 152 grams a day, and that's 41% of my calories. I do well with less of the carbs, but everyone is different. Still, I wouldn't worry about 200 grams a day being too low.

I eat about 145g carb a day
