Each carb choice is 15 grams, so 255 grams. 1700 calories would be 16 choices and so on. That was according to the dietician that I met with earlier in the week if that makes any sense?? Clear as mud? =) Amychelle

If you're just counting calories and trying to eat "less" than you used to, I would say that it doens't quite matter as much. I'm not saying it doesn't matter at all, but it might not be something you need to worry about. "Going to war without France, is like going deer hunting without your accordion." -Norman Schwarzkopf

Or if you're trying to get or stay in ketosis then less than 60g of net carb.
