Quick question..
How many grams of carbs should be an average intake per day? I have heard 100g for cutting.. Bulkers usually eat 3-400g of carbs/day.. I'm aiming to lower body fat.. is 100g just about right?

I guess you can say I am on a Paleo diet, where I eat 1g protein/1lb, low fat foods, veggies with lunch and dinner..
When I eat carbs, I usually eat 2 pieces of whole grain toast for breakfast, and 1cup of brown rice.. or no carbs for lunch, and have pasta with white beans for lunch.. obviously I get proteins in my meals, but that's just to name my carbs.. No carbs for dinner.. Maybe an apple here and there (never after lunch)
I believe my maintenance calories is 2400, so I eat around 1900/day.. Don't really look at my fat intake.. My highest fatty food is 1/3 of a cup of cashews.. With my diet as is, I perform well on my workouts with this diet.. I just don't know if I am having to many carbs or not

I was taking in about 175-200g of carbs. The weight was coming off, but every week or 2 in a month, no loss. Dropped it to 75-100g (upped protein) and I feel much better and I see loss every week now. Still able to bike my 12 miles even after I lift. You just have to adjust to what you are comfortable with and where you see results.
