What is your carb limit a day?

Jennifer, Thank you I knew I would get a great post about my question. I always try to buy organics in most everything. Just need some kind of a guideline to base my intake limits on. BTW fiber is a friend along with miralax it has been so helpful I feel like a new woman.                                         Annie

Jennifer, it's so funny you mention the 100 calorie packs...there was just an article online about what they're calling the "junk-food dieters" who have come about since the 100 calorie snack craze. 

My nutritionist specifically told me not to buy them because they're basically empty calories...and I thought I was being good.  LOL!

Yeah... you get stuck on the "only 100 calories" part and not look at anything else. Its almost like the Weigh****chers products - many are loaded with sugar... they almost defeate their own purpose, but WW doesnt really have you look at sugar so it doesnt 'matter' to those following the plan. I saw they now have 100 calorie candy bars out too... problem is they are so small most people dont just eat 1. :-) I just try and take the time to pre-portion out my own '100 calorie packs' I bought those small sized plastic baggies - the 1/2 ones and put my snacks in there. Its also cheaper to do that as well!  I will have to say its markets genius on the food manfu part - those 100 calorie packs cost around $2.50 a box (at walmart) and have about 1/2 the volume if you went and bought a regular box/bag of whatever you were eating... there are what 4-6 servings in each? There is typically more than that in a box/bag ... they are making a fortune! Also it makes people think its 'ok' to eat the cookies/candy/crackers because its "only" 100 calories.
