Cutting, how many carbs?

[NzKing69]

I got told a few weeks ago that I should not completely cut carbs out of my diet, but how much carbs should I be having? The person who posted said 1 carb per pound of body weight, is this correct?

I weigh 189lb so 189 carbs a day?

Since you've given hardly any other info about yourself, I'm going to give you this ballpark estimate, and assume you're lifting at least 3 times a week.

189 lbs * 10 = 1890 calories

189g protein daily * 4 = 756 calories
85g fat daily * 9 = 765 calories

1890 calories - 756 calories - 765 calories = 369 calories / 4 = 93g carbs daily

If you want anything more accurate, get your bodyfat measured and read the stickies.

Best advice we can give. All the info is here, just have to read, understand and retain it.
