Do you have a carb limit? I can never eat as many carbs as you do in one meal. I was told to eat 1 or 2 servings (15 grams= 1 serving) of carbs per meal and only occasionally to allow myself to eat 3 servings in one meal, like for a holiday treat. Obviously everyone is different, but what is your goal here?
