[QUOTE="phoenix, post: 159361, member: 12578"] As you realise not a lot. In the same way the terms high carb, low carb are very frequently used in a meaningless way.What you need to eat depends on your activity levels and whether you need to lose or gain weight. What is 'loads' for one person may not be enough for another.That's one place that a good dietitian can help as they should be looking at your lifestyle rather than giving general advice, you can find that in a book Just to show how meaningless. A few weeks ago I walked 10 miles with over 5000ft of climb carrying a 10kg pack on my back. For the walk alone, not the whole day, my garmin estimated I used 4050 calories; If I had eaten as many as 300g of carbs this would still only be about 30% of the calories expended . By comparison, if I sat down at a computer all day and drove to the shops I'd use about 1800 calories, the same proportion of carbs would only be 135g. I totally agree with NIgels comments about fats. [/QUOTE]
