[QUOTE="xyzzy, post: 464558, member: 40343"] ...and your point in quoting the whole paragraph is what? The point I was trying to make is that the ADA advice makes no sense. It does not say its a minimum it says the RDA is 130g. So on a 2000 calorie average persons intake roughly 25% should come from carbs. That's fine if your meter says it works for you. So if you recommend a 25% carb regime that means 75% must be coming from protein and fat full stop. The RDA for protein is around 16% which many people (including me) exceed and end up somewhere between 20 and 30%. Let's call it 30% meaning the difference leaves 45% as fat. What is that if not a low carb high fat recommendation that so many of us follow and have found so beneficial. There is no such thing as a low carb low fat low protein diet. That's the myth!
