Can you let me know how many grams of carbs do you try to eat a day?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ideally...: The goal is as few grams as possible, since carbs are not essential for life. Shoot for 50-60 grams per day! but the fewer the better. Protein and fat are essential for human life! the body will turn these to sugar as needed!
