[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 1593101, member: 41816"] I agree with all the comments above suggesting that you test, and personally tailor things to suit your body. But I would add that you need to factor in hunger. LCHF usually helps people to feel less hungry. Which means that their portion sizes will often naturally reduce a bit, and they forget to snack, or even skip the odd meal. This is obviously very helpful if we are trying to lose weight. :) The effect may take a while to kick in, and it may take you dropping below a certain level of carb intake. But that carb level will be unique to you. It could be anywhere from 10-250g carbs a day, so none of us can really advise you, although of course we can say what works for us. Some of us (me!) also find that eating too many carbs can trigger carb cravings. Hopefully you won't get hunger when you cut carbs, or carb cravings if you don't cut carbs enough... but if you do, then it is simply a matter of adjusting the balance of protein and fat and carbs till you find what works for you. The easiest way to do this (without counting anything), is to keep protein intake 'normal' and adjust the carbs down a bit, and the fats up a bit, until you forget to eat between meals. Works for me. :D [/QUOTE]
