I"m not counting all my carbs, but since i'm eating fruit, i'm getting alot of carbs throughout the day. Now it's not carbs like pizza, and chips and junk, it's good carbs, the simple sugars, that burn fast. i.e grapes, apples, etc. I've lost about 17 lbs so far doing this, so don't say I shouldn't be eating fruit... http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/nono.gif I"m just curious how many carbs you guys/gals take in in a day, I know you don't count, but give me some of the foods you eat... I have a carb calculator (www.fitday.com) and I can figure it out pretty much. http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/punk.gif The good thing is that my fruits are accompanied by tuna/chicken/etc... protein... and like I said, since I've lost about 17lbs, I don't need any thoughts on my diet http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

well your diets good, but cutting SOME of the fruit might be good and give you another kick start to tightening up more.. just ask spidey. http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

as far as carb intake goes, personally i havent been counting to point i limit myself..im doing anything and everything to try and put on some good weight. i make sure i get my required complex carbs daily, and a little extra here and there. im not too concerned with putting on a bit of fat as i more or less already know what i need to do to get it to come off.. http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif

My Carbs come in the form Of Complex carbs. things like Oats, Brown Rice, Sweet Potatoes, and Whole Grain Breads. Also try and get in some Fiborous Carbs, from Veggies as well.

Typical Day, I have about 1 cup of Oats, and 2 cups of Brown Rice.

http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif sad, but true. however i only eliminated fruit to drop those final 1-2 lbs that wouldn't come off. now that it's gone, i eat 1 piece of fruit a day. usually a banana or grapefruit. sometimes other fruits, but those are usually on cheat days.

as for carbs... i'm a cereal junky. there's a brand called "Kashi" that makes all kinds of healthy fibrous low cal cereal's. they are not for everyone, but once you get used to the natural tastes, you'll learn to LOVE THEM. I eat a bowl of the "go lean crunch"(mostly oat clusters) before i workout and i have an endless supply of energy.

other carbs i like are brown rice, sweet potatoes, and FRENCH FRIES! http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif once a week we go to this killer bbq place and i order up the turkey plate with steak fries. mmmmmmmmm.... http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/yumyum.gif

i eat all my carbs before 4:00pm to make sure i burn them before i go to bed. carb heavy breakfast, lunch, and pre workout snack... then for dinner protein and vegies or salad. when i follow this routine i wake up lean as a mo-fo in the morning regardless of how many carbs i ate the day before.

so, in short... no, i don't count carbs... i do eat fruit... and i love french fries. http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

hell yea.... your doin great girl. http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/punk.gif

when you try that kashi stuff... make sure you give the "Autumn Wheat" and "go lean crunch" a try. They are easily the best two in my opinion. http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif

i keep mine low....only complex carbs....
