So I’m being obnoxious but the fact is unless you are playing a sport that involves explosivity (sprinting, Olympic lifting) or endurance (cycling, marathon races) you do not need to obsess over how many carbs you are eating.
The battle of nutrition is fought in the trenches and it’s very hard to follow a consistent plan. So my advice is simply it until you have mastered the basics. Start with more sustainable approach – Flexible Dieting with an emphasis on total calories (portions), tracking protein consumption and 80% of your food being single ingredient foods and the other 20% being flexible.
Because if your goal is to simply be healthy and look better you just need to focus on total caloric intake, protein consumption and reducing processed foods. This is all you need to do build muscle and lose fat. I have clients also track fiber because it’s beneficial to health and also helps with nutrition selection – the kinds of foods you are eating.
I find that having to track protein, carbohydrates and fats, all with specific targets is everyday like a new Rubik’s cube. It’s unnecessarily complicated for everyday people. Having said this long term you want to have at least 10% of your calories being represented by every macronutrient, carbohydrates, fats and protein. If you consume less carbohydrates you will require more protein but if you’ve been following me for a while you are probably already eating .8x your body weight anyway.
