A member asked:

Should i really be eating 60gm of carbs at each meal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Probably not: A person's nutritional needs varies so depending on your age/weight and goals (are you trying to gain/lose weight?) also 'what type of carbs' is as important as the amount. We need some carbs; but how much for you is hard to tell without more information.
