Does anyone know how many carbs & protein you should have daily when dieting? I seem to run just under 200g for carbs & 60-90g for protein and I think it may be to much.

Depends on the diet. I don't restrict carbs at all, but some people restrict them to below 20.

I really don't think it matters all that much as long as you keep track of calories.

I've counted carbs, protein, calories, etc. Different diets focus on different things. Depending on your gender and activity level and so on, YOUR specific dietary needs are unique.

I am starting to understand that it is a balance of all of the above that you have to find. It is different for everyone. I believe that if you look for a variety of the most nutritionally dense foods, whole foods that are minimally processed you will find that you cover all your bases pretty easily.

Good luck!

Love the food that loves you back.

Faster Metabolism?
Eat more fat. The fat will suppress your appetite and make it so that you can eat less. If you have enough fat in your diet, you will never feel hungry.

So frustrated!
8 pounds in a month is pretty great. That is 2 pounds per week. That is the far-end of the range of what you can leave and keep it off.

You should be able to add most of your foods by grams. If the only option is a teaspoon, there are 28 grams (dry) in a teaspoon.

portion control! ack!
No gimmicks. Just pre-portion your snacks ahead of time, and only grab one portion. For instance, i portion my nuts into 1oz plastic baggies. Also, if you are concerned about portion size in general, ...
