Average carb intake at maintenance?
on 1/12/13 12:17 pm
What you're thinking is exactly spot on. Carbs from veggies and limited fruit is fine in maintenance. I try to stay under 100 net carbs a day but even that is too high and I'm seeing a little regain at 5 years post-op. I'd probably better off at 70 net grams of carbs post-op. This is even with a super malabsorptive WLS. You may need to stay with what you're currently doing long term.

I don't track anymore regularly but my rule of thumb is veggies are fine including beans and the carbs in dairy. Then I try to stick to one carby thing a day, no more. So a tiny potato, corn, whole grain bread thing, fruit would be my 1 carb for the day if I am going to have a carb that day, don't always. That seems to work for me,
