looking at my fitday, I'm a bit surprised to see that I'm actually shovelling down about 150 grams of carbs per day, at about 40 percent of my total intake. That's almost 100 percent non-starch vegetables, with an occasional piece of fruit. Typically: cabbage, broccoli, tomatoes, brussel sprouts, cauliflower, and carrots, with blueberries or grapes. I came to paleo from a vegetarian binge land full of disordered eating and fat-phobia, and it has been a really interesting journey. At first on "paleo" I dropped everything I was supposed to drop but still avoided meat and fat, so I basically ate avocados, nuts, eggs and veggies. Then I added meat and cut the nuts. And now I am beginning to add fat, if slowly, and finding that I love it.

However, I think that I need to cut my carbs more in order for the fat to be truly satiating and to help me crave the carbs less.

BUT, the carbs I eat are so high because my 'disordered eating' was a result of constantly feeling deprived (thanks again, conventional wisdom). And now I find that fat and protein are in fact super satiating, but also that I don't want to perpetuate negative feelings about food, so if I feel like eating a head of cabbage I go ahead and do it. I know this high fiber intake is wreaking havoc on my digestive track, but I'm letting myself chip away at this one step at a time.

I do find that sugars make me crave sugars like it's no one's business, and that I have better energy (and, of course, fewer compulsive feelings about food) when I limit my carbs to <40 g/day. But I also find that I feel a bit fuzzy on super low carb days. I wonder if that's just because I'm not adjusted to running ketones at that time.

I'm fairly active--getting in some sort of activity approximately every day, sleep pretty well, am decently muscled, and am not trying to lose weight, though I do have to make a conscious effort to maintain. I do this by limiting carbs and counting calories. Overall, I find that aside from my cravings, I feel quite good on this diet.

When I'm eating normally, I average about 75g of carbs per day. When I'm trying to lean out or heal my gut (which I'm doing now), I end up at around 25g of carbs per day. It's a rare day when I go above 100g. I'm also somewhat insulin resistant, so I don't do well on a ton of carbs.

Post High Intensity, Workouts, Ultimate Frisbee, Sprinting etc , I will eat plenty of starchy carbs. VLC otherwise.

So 4 days of VLC , 3 refeed days for average week... I'm extremely active right now tho.

I sometimes go over 100, not sure how much. Other days, I am rather low. I've been experimenting with not trying to control it much. So once in a while, I get a taste for bananas, which have a lot of sugar in them, and I might end up eating four of them in one day! They are an easy snack food as well. But then the next day, heck I am usually sick of bananas by then so I'll be eating more meat or something else.

In fact, that is the method I am using to determine if a food is a problem. If the more I eat it, the more I want more of it, day after day, then it is a problem food to be avoided. If I crave it, eat a lot, and then don't crave it anymore even the next day, then I feel the craving was not an addiction, and so can be acted on without feeding an addiction. So I cut out all my addictive carb foods like grains and pasta and cake, but I am not currently limiting my fruit and veggie intake. And watching to see how it goes. So far, still feel good and losing weight. I'm going to hold off on the tubers for now, but will probably eventually try some potato once in a while, especially when eating away from home.

Only 20-30g per day for me - but I'm a T2 diabetic - so the fewer, the better! I don't see a problem with eating 100-150g, assuming your metabolism is good, you're not trying to lose weight, are pretty active and eat healthy stuff.

You would probably have to start eating stuff like potatoes and bananas to hit those numbers...

Let's put it this way: Not intentionally. Even when I choose to eat potatoes or something I try to keep the total under 100g, but I don't always track it in more than a ballpark-ish way. I feel best in the 60-80g range, I think.

I have no idea of the amount of carbs I eat (I never count), and I think my intake may vary. Some days are extremely low carb, other days are higher carb (couple of fruits and some starchy vegetables). Overall this would probably moderate.

Normally I don't think too much about this, although maybe I will do some self experimentation for a few weeks. I've never felt any problems with eating fruits (except for wanting to eat more sweet things). Last month was I ate quite a lot of starch, and my (little bit of) psoriasis has changed a bit (worse), but I don't know if that would be the cause. We'll see.

I am usually around 75-100 per day including a post-workout meal of yams and protein. On rest days, I'm more like 40-60. The exception would be if I were doing a strength cycle and incorporating milk into my diet, which I do every few months for 4-6 weeks. Then I'm well over 100.

I probably eat about 250-300 grams per day.

I've been around 150g most days lately. Some fruit, but also root vegetables like beets, squashes, carrots, turnips and sweet potatoes. I'm underweight so I'm trying to eat lots of everything.

I used to not tolerate carbs well but now I don't seem to have a problem. Symptoms used to be "candida-like" with blood sugar crashes in the middle of the night. I spent a couple years on mostly low carb to allow my digestive system to heal and energy to come back. I slowly added in more carbs in an attempt to gain weight. So far I haven't gained but I haven't had any of the old symptoms so I'm feeling pretty good.

I don't exceed 100 g of carbohydrate but that's because I'm a Type 1 diabetic. I aim for around 50 g/day and my blood sugars have been far more stable since I've adopted this diet. Bernstein actually advises < 30 g/day carbohydrate.

Before I read Dr. Bernstein's book I was following the standard ADA dietary guidelines. It was hell - large dosages of insulin, frequent hyperglycemia, lots of hypos.

Interestingly my weight has doesn't vary at all with various macronutrient ratios I've consumed.

i consistently eat over 100g of carbs a day, except for my rest days. But... im an ultramarathon runner so probably different circumstances than you. I do get most of my carbs from fruit though (i often go through a bag or two of frozen berries in a sitting), and occasionally rice, quinoa, or sprouted grains. I still eat alot of fat and protein, and am a big fan of offal.

I rarely go over 100g a day, usually hang out between 70-90g.

I tend to increase my carb intake based on a couple of things:

1. Workout intensity (more intense and longer workouts means more carbs, usually sweet potato to hasten recovery)

2. Season - I tend to eat less carbs in the winter because evolutionarily speaking they would have been scarce. (I also increase sleep)

My base-line diet is quite low-carb at 10-50g/day depending on if I just consume some leafy vegetables and berries or also a little fruit and tubers.

I also have higher-carb periods in the 100-150g/day range. Unfortunately the latter is mostly sugar as it typically means I am indulging in "Paleo junk food" which means copious amounts of dark chocolate, yoghurt, almond meal muffins, and other such foods.

I know sugar is bad but when you eat so healthy compared to everyone you know, and you have veins popping out on your lower abdomen, it is hard to not eat that whole block of chocolate--it has less sugar than an apple!!!

While rarely measuring I probably often consume something like 200 grams of carbohydrate a day from a variety of fruit and starchy vegetables.

I don't exercise that much. Weigh about 150 pounds at 6 feet 2 inches tall. Always been slim and weight doesn't vary that much, would get a fat tummy if I ate unhealthily but would be underweight if I ate low-carb for too long. Don't think I have any problems with insulin resistance.

I find that I vary quite a bit based on my day to day tastes-some days as low as 30 grams (eggs cooked in butter for breakfast, chicken with herbed coconut oil for lunch, beef patty on a stirfry for dinner), other days around 100 (veggies etc for breakfast, salad for lunch, apple as a snack, more veggies with dinner and unsweetened chocolate for dessert). For reference I'm female, 5'3", and 110lbs.

Me, me, me! I'm lean and too thin, trying to gain weight and strength so obviosuly a different case than people with different metabolisms/goals.

Was pretty low carb for a while, determined I feel best with moderate carbs, recently upped my activity level a ton (not really my choice) so now I am not limiting myself beyond eating safer starches and not overdoing treats, yet I am not getting blood sugar crashes or other unpleasantness. It's mostly getting burned off and hopefully any extra will go to my boobs. Avoiding grains is the big thing - they make me feel exhausted, depressed and itchy.

I eat veg, fruit (not much), lots of white potatoes, white rice, some sweet potatoes (can't overdo those), a little cheese (trying to avoid that now as it seems to aggravate my skin), some nuts.

I also eat milk chocolate and horrors! Haagan Daas ice cream, on a regular basis.

Just hit the gym and stop worrying about Carbs or fats !! 2 hours a day working out = enjoy foods .
