What is your upper carb limit?
For those in maintenance, what is your daily carb limit before you start to see weight gain? What is your general daily activity level?

I shoot for 20. Most times I fall well below, and once in a while it goes slightly above. I cycle almost everyday.

My food choices have changed over the years, and they change through the seasons, so I can't stick an absolute number on what will cause fat gain. It varies. IMO, the precise number is less important than what foods it's coming from, and what protein/fat foods are going along with it.
I generally go anywhere from 10-70. I'll have days where I'll have a starchy veggie at dinner, maybe restaurant food that's higher carb than I'd normally have, maybe a sugary sauce. I'll have other days that are basically carnivore, and I'm at 10 or less. My weight has been 155 lbs (plus or minus no more than a few lbs) for at least 5 years now. Activity level also varies. I work a seasonal job. While I'm working, I'm on my feet 35 hrs/week with a fair amount of lifting and pushing carts. When I'm laid off, I'm somewhat more sedentary. I started doing a basic strength training routine about a year and a half ago, but not enough that I'm ripped or having to eat extra food. I hate exercise. :p |
Depends on how much fat I eat. Carbs are fuel, Fat is fuel. Am very active with amateur sport too.
This is my last 7 days per https://cronometer.com 40+26+60+28+53+35+43 Avg 40.7 Also, as I have some body fat too lose, keeping fat very low, prioritize protein. I like adding carbs in the form of some vegetables, seaweed, and from 0% cottage cheese and 0% greek yogurt. Works for me, your mileage may vary :) |
Fewer than 20, most days much lower.
Activity level moderate. I walk from 2 to 4 miles at a brisk pace 4 to 6 days a week (depending on the weather). |
I'm grateful for the replies!
Do you subtract fiber carbs from your total? |
