[QUOTE="tvlicencenumber, post: 959418, member: 209444"] What to Limit Carbohydrates. Your goal should be to limit your carb intake to between 45 and 65 percent of total calories per day. In other words, if you are consuming 2200 calories per day, no more than 1430 of that should come from carbohydrates. In addition, you should aim to eat at least 130 grams of carbs every day, split evenly throughout the day. To help you decided whether a recipe will help you stay on track, we’ve developed some useful guidelines: Carb-friendly: less than or equal to 30g/serving Low-carb: less than or equal to 15g/serving Very low-carb: less than or equal to 3g/serving Carbohydrate Choice System To make things even easier, our recipe filter uses a point system, whereby every 15 grams of carbohydrates are worth 1 “carbohydrate choice.” The idea is that you can then determine how many carb choices you get per day, and “use” them as you like. Here are a few examples: 1 large bagel= 60g carbs= 4 carb choices 1 cob corn= 15g carbs= 1 carb choice 1/3 cup pasta, cooked= 15g carbs = 1 carb choice 1 cup cooked squash = 15g carbs= 1 carb choice 1 apple, orange, peach = 15g carbs= 1 carb choice 1/2 cup grapefruit or orange juice = 15g carbs= 1 carb choice 1/4 cup raisins= 30g carbs= 2 carb choices 1 cup milk= 15g carbs= 1 carb choice 1 slice pizza, frozen, thick crust, medium=30g carbs= 2 carb choices 1 doughnut= 30g carbs= 2 carb choices 1 tbsp syrup= 15g carbs= 1 carb choice Certain foods are considered “free” and do not take up any carbohydrate choices. These include anything that is 5 grams or less of carbohydrate and fewer than 20 calories per serving, such as: club soda coffee gelatin, sugar free seasonings soft drinks, diet sugar substitutes tea, hot or iced, unsweetened water, plain or unsweetened You can consume as much of these as you want every day.
