how many grams of carbs do you eat?

well that's basically my question lol.. how many grams of carbs do you eat and how many calories.. so what percentage of your calories is made up of carbs? i checked mine today for the 1st time and i ate around 247 grams of carbs .. but honestly I have no clue if that's too much.. it sounds too much lol.

I ate 284 today and it was 57% of my calories.  You sound fine.  What percentage of your calories was from carbs?

I have no idea but i think it's a lot more than 50 percent, lol.  I know i basically live off carbs.  My main sources of nutrients are yogurt, oatmeal, fruits, bread, beans, veggies, and tofu.  I have a significant amount of fruit and bread though--golly i have a LOT of carbs in a day.  lol.  

Around 100. Yes...so low, but otherwise I feel like CRAP...I love my meat, alright!

lysistrata

my carbs make up 54% of my cals... I think I will try to do 50% or less from now on lol.. though I don't know how successful I'd be.. I love carbs : )

I personally consume a ratio of 40/40/20% protein/carbs/fat.

It's so easy to eat significantly more carbs than protein, but I just have to watch it and make sure that I am getting enough protein with each meal.  Try to balance your meals so that each meal contains roughly the same ratio% of protein, carbs, and healthy fats as the rest of your meals.  For example, if you eat 50/30/20% protein/carbs/fat, then try to make every meal 50/30/20%.  That should help you to keep your protein and healthy fat consumption up and moderate carb consumption, rather than eating a bunch of carbs earlier in the day and then trying to eat a bunch of protein later in the day to make up the difference.

I eat 60% of my calories from carbs, and I eat mostly complex carbs and limit my simple carbs.  I like a 60/20/20 ratio, and it's really helped with my weight loss.  Since Jan 14th, I've lost 30 lbs.

Usually 200.  Sometimes over, sometimes under.

i used to eat barely any meat, and mosly carbs. i just started the atkins diet. im getting a lot of negative feedback from close friends, but i no its effective, and quick. im trying to lose a few pounds to fit into a dress... ill keep you updated on my progress

I usually have nearly 300g, though today was only 200g, though on wednesdays (I have rock climbing) I normally eat 350+. A lot of people tell me it's way too much, but I love my carbs, and they all come from good things-whole grains, fruits, veggies, beans, etc- so I don't worry (and I do get enough protein and fat)

Yes, I definitely believe there are good carbs and bad carbs.

i eat over 300 grams of carbs daily, about 65% of my calories....if i have fewer, i am sluggish and don't feel right.

i think you have to identfity personally what YOUR body needs and how many carbs you can eat to feel good.

good luck!

Today was 271 gms of carbs (57.9 %) and it usually similar to that. I am a vegetarian so protein tends to be around 13- 15 % which I have been told is the low end of a healthy intake so no problems there. I am quite active and feel better if I have plenty of carbs- I try to make as many of them complex as possible.

Of course there are good carbs and bad carbs- I can't believe so many people think all carbs are bad- there is a huge difference between a bowl of brown rice and a chocolate bar.

I don't keep track of how many grams, but at least 50% to 60% of my calories are from carbs.  I limit refined carbs and try to have only complex carbs like whole grains and fruits.

I just count the calories.

I was curious, so I went to analysis and checked a few days.  Typically, I eat around 300 grams of carbs a day, mostly from complex carbs.  You might be better off asking folks how much of a percentage they eat, as the grams will differ greatly depending on how many calories they eat a day.  I get about 60% of my calories from carbs, for example.

My % of carbs is usually 55 - 60% of total cal intake.  I eat whole grains fruit and veggies.  I also consume at least 40 grams of fiber a day.  I have colon issues and need to keep my fiber intake up there and carbs are the only way to do it.  Fiber supplements don't work I have to do it by foods only.
