Hi @xtessa1x .. well that's good news, I bet you were thrilled.Was sent to see a dietician yesterday and her advice.......i must....MUST...eat at least 200grm of carbs a day minimum......go figure!!!!!
Lol I am 5ft stood on a box and about 2.5 stone overweightThat is 800 kCal/day ie. a 40% carb intake for a 2000 kCal/day diet.
Are you trying to mantain you weight or need to lose some?
Seems to me that the calculation was made for a maintenance diet for a man or tall woman based on a calorie limite diet.
Yes they do for sure. My DB Nurse said that reference to this forum and suggestion I do my own research into LC diet to be "off the record". You would think that spending so much time and effort on strategies that predominantly don't work on many people and then only responding by providing extra and different advice when their illness progresses to a given point, would have indicated that a different approach to dietary advice is required. Maybe changing their minds leads too many doors open to litigation??Dieticians follow dietry guidlines not lchf or relevant diet for diabetics and out of touch with recent research that has shown the dietry guidlines to be the wrong way around.
Well I know from experience that too many cabs are not good for me so I am having 50-70 grams and trying to split them over 3 meals will try to get them down further but going to it slowly and being put on insulin. So don't want hypos
I think if you're trying to lose weight you should go do a 1500 kCal/day diet that roughly translates to a 150 g/day of carbs for a sedentary person.

I am also an engineer but I have no idea what this calculation is based on?I am an engineer not a doctor, and normally make back-of-the-envelope guesstimation - the grams of carbs = calories/10 is one of them
