Well kyrie, the fact that you have ovarian cysts implies to me you have PCOS, as I do. Like other diseases such as type 2 diabetes, PCOS is a disorder related to insulin signaling abnormalities. This implies to me your CCLM is going to be rather low and carbohydrate will never make up a sizable portion of your energy consumption.
I'm in maintenance and have done a lot of experimentation with carb levels. I've done induction, and I've gone as high as the 90s for a few. Personally I feel my best when carbs are in the mid 50's range. I allow lots of wiggle room for this (40-60), but generally I like staying around the 50s. Going too low makes me feel dizzy and tired. Going over 70 seems to really muck me up as well, and I get irritable, shaky, and ravenous.
Hope this helps.
