Carbs per daily intake??????

[Gail-michelle]

Hiya peeps just wanted to know how much carbs you can have on a daily basis?? I do try not to have any if I can help it, but even cerial has plenty of carbs as does w/w bread(11 carbs per tiny slice of wholemeal) I have bought the wrong protein shake drink also 25g protein-15g carbs-1.5g fat.

Oh forgot to add on my plate I always have more protein than the carbs. Gail x

Great question Gail. I'd like to know the answer to this as well, as I worry that my carb intake may be too high - even though I dont eat bread, rice, pasta yet and not much potato. Carbs seem to be in most of the foods I am eating though.

Thats exactly it!! sam everything I go to have its either low in fat & sugar but then extremly high in carbs so it does become baffling at times. I mean all the special K cerials they advertise on TV YES! it may be low fats, sugars ect but then its high in carbs. I think I will just sew me mouth up and have done lol. Gail x

Morning Gail

I try to keep below 40g of carbs if I can, mostly they are usually from yoghurt and splash of milk. Having said that though I'm the slowest loser on earth now.

Take care

Gail - I use foodfocus.co.uk to monitor my intake. I'd say I'm closer to the 60g Mark on average - sometimes going over, and sometimes under. I think I would struggle to get it as low as M's 40g. Thats very impressive M.

Thanks sam, I will try my upmost to get below 40/60 in my carb intake. Ime sure I havnt seen much about the daily carb allowance on previous threads but if there has been I apolagise but if not then all threads would be most apreciated. Kind regards Gail x

Hi Gail

I agree with Sam that the Food focus website is great for monitoring ALL the food group intakes and you can add foods that may not already be on their lists. Bit fiddly to start with until you get the hang of things but well worth a look. Will have to try to find the time to keep using it once I get back to work as it is a bit time consuming.

Do have a look, you'll be surprised how much there is on the site.

My dietician said not to limit them, as you need starch to break down fats.
I try and make sure I have more protein than carbs.

I cut carbs out almost entirely a while back and when I re introduced them my weight loss increased?


I wouldn't worry too much. Just make sure you have a healthy balanced diet, and remember protein first

I have a slice of bread each day almost, and I eat plenty of fruit, it doesn't seem to have done me much harm.. I still loose well.

This is just me though, what works for me might not for you

But if your loosing I wouldn't alter what your eating now

Hmmm Ive been pondering this one too, gonna take more interest in the carbs even though im not on breads, pastas rice either.

Just on a side note, bypassbee it is nice to see you here, I can remember when you had your op, and havent seen you here much since. Your weightloss is amazing, not too far to go till goal now really. WELL DONE xX
