Anyone know the grams of carbs you can eat in a day? 50g?

There is no standard amount. It depends on the individual. Limit carbs but not to the point you can't function throughout the day. For instance, i need about 400-600 calories from carbs per day. Given that my daily intake is 1900-2000 calories, it's about 1/4 of my total calories. More than this is unnecessary, less than this and my brain does not function.

You have to experiment a bit for a few weeks.

I am allowed 1600 calories a day for my weight loss goal. I have severely limited my carbs and sugars but still find myself hungry. 😕
