Default How many...

How many carbs do you typically have in a day?

I try to stay at 20 but usually end up at around 26 or so, I'm in OWL.

I had been at about 15-20 and just recently I (without trying) went up to 23-25. I have now hit a stall so I think I need to go back to the ol 15-20 and totaly cut out the frankenfoods. Dont know if I can give up my Carb options BBQ sauce

I aim for 25-30 a day (OWL). I was afraid to leave induction levels but I've found that I still lose at slightly higher levels...yay! I'm really enjoying fresh strawberries these days.

I haven't been losing very well and I was hoping that an increase in the carbs might give my body a boost, if not I'll go back down. I still keep things pretty natural except atkins pancakes once a week and the low carb burrito rolls every once in a while.
