Need some feedback please..... I am wondering how many carbs to do per day? I am a person that goes to the gym religiously 5 times a week. I do 30 minutes on the eliptical, jog up to a mile or more and lift weights. I currently do about 800-1000 calories per day and drink Isopure protein approx. 40 grams a day, the rest of my protein comes from food intake. i am just confused on the carb intake?????? Any suggestions would be very helpful.

Thanks,
Steve

Protein first, veggies next, carbs if you have room left in your small pouch.

I agree with Doc & I was told no more than 5 grams serving. But ultimately, I would tell yu to check with your nutritionist, because every office has different guidlines & every patient situation is different.

Once you reach maintenance weight you should be getting somewhere between 120 and 200 grams per day. Since you are only 5 months out, don't worry about it unless you are eating a lot of carbs. You should be eating protein, especially since you are working out a lot. Chances are you aren't getting a lot of carbs in at this point. When you do eat carbs eat WHOLE grain - check the lables. Some things advertise themselves as multigrain to confuse the buyer - when you read the lable you'll see it's the same as eating highly processed white bread. Stay away from starchy carbs like pasta, white rice and potatoes.
