carb question!!!!!!!

Ok If im eatting around 1000 cals give or take, mostly give in my case, how many carbs are ok perday? I try to keep my protein around 90-100gs? dawn

Hey Dawn, The only thing I could find was on this link. http://www.health.gov/dietaryguidelines/dga2005/document/html/chapter2.htm You'll need to scroll down to Table 2 & look over at the USDA Collumn. Their figures seems kinda high to me Maybe someone else will know more about it. Tammy

Thanks Tammy, Yhea thats seems way high to me too. It's getting so hard to drop a single pound and keep it off for more that 15 minutes! I'm trying to look at everything im doing and make some changes somewhere, it was so eazy to loose those first 4 mos, now its like pulling teeth to get this stuff off!GRRRRRRR dawn

I wonder if the ladies at Curves where you work out could tell you. Maybe call a fitness center at a hospital & ask the nutrionist ? They would for sure know. Just throwing out some ideas to help here. Tammy

I might shoot my Dr an email , and see if he knows! Them ladies at Curves dont know didley- squat! Thanks for the ideas! dawn

Eve at curves if you talk to her is pretty good at all the good eatting stuff she and I talked about healthy eatting today

I dont know her!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Dawn There was a simular question on the main board. Here is the link. http://www.obesityhelp.com/forums/amos/postdetail/1744353.html?vc=0 Maybe this answer will help Cause there are some legit & helpful answers on the main board Tammy

Christine (Tweedle Dum) gave us a list of how much of each for each calorie count about a year or so back. I don't remember it off the top of my head, but it is taped my computer at home. I am STILL at Rhonda's. I will email it to you when I get home....prolly Wed, if you will remind me. You so purdy! Smoochies Arlies

Everyone is so different on this but this is what my nutritionist told me at 4 mos out. Minimum: (600-800 Calories) Protein 42G - Fat 15G - Carbs 60G Optimal: (1200 Calories) Protein 60G - Fat 50G - Carbs 120G Maximum: (1600 Calories) Protein 80G - Fat 65G - Carbs 200G Minimum is not doing you any good.. Starvation mode Optimal is to continue to lose. Maximum is for when you are in maintanence. Those carbs too are your good carbs - fruit and good veggies - not potatoes and rice and chips... but of course some every now and then are okay but mostly get them from dark veggies and fruit.
