when I'm off the wagon it's free game, and mostly crap lol
Yeah, 150g is my scream level when I'm trying to drop a small amount of weight. Keto suggests 50g though. That's super crazy-low (to me.)
Obviously the amount would vary for different people and different lifestyles. I have a baseline of 1700 calories to maintain my current weight and my carbs are set at 234g. If I exercise I eat more of all the macros, proportionally.
Problem with allowing free carbs (more specifically, sweet treats other than whole fruit) is just what you said - once I allow too many, I'll eat WAY too many.
