How Many Carbs do You Limit Yourself to Per Day?

[Listlad]

It would help me enormously to know how many grams per day people are limiting themselves to.

I see figures of less than 20, less than 50 and less than 100 grams per day banded about but wonder which are the most representative?

 

[NoCrbs4Me]

Approximately zero.

 

[Listlad]

Approximately zero.

I see yes, the clue is in the user name.

I don’t know as yet but as a work in progress I aim to keep mine under 30g per day

At the moment low enough that I don’t bother counting. No more than half a palmful of broccoli and some spinach per day. Plus a bit of dairy. I’d guess at around 10g but definitely less than 20g. That’s obviously full-ketogenic though. It’s not for everyone I’m sure.

Good luck with that with the Cadbury’s creme eggs.

I eat around 100 grams of carbs daily on a good day... on bad days more

I see you have them screwed right down to a minimum, Jim.

I haven’t touched them. I’m more of a dairy milk kinda guy!

I see, that sounds more like my kind of number.

 

[Type-2-Havent-A-Clue]

I typo’d I should of said 20g

Yeah for sure. Honestly I only really eat the green veg because I like it. Very often I’ll have cauliflower in place of broccoli so I’d guess on average I’m at 10g.

 

[briped]

I never go above 16g/day.

Yes, you are like me i.e trying to find your way with this stuff.

 

[SlimLizzy]

Aim for 100g a day average.

Again, a very tight number or at least it appears to me like that from my end of the spectrum. But thanks I appreciate all the input.

30-40g
Everybody has a different level of carbs that allows themto maintain good blood sugar levels. It varies from person to person and in my experience it changes over the course of time.
The only way to work out your carb threshold is by testing testing and then testing some more

 

[HSSS]

Around 30 ish I think but it definitely varies. Still in ketosis even on the higher days.

 

[hankjam]

I don't think about it as such. No to bread, potatoes, pasta, rice, cakes et al, so meat, dairy, veg and loads of fish seems to work for me.

No to bread, potatoes, pasta, rice, cakes et al.......

As in zero?
