Another GD question

When they tell you how many carbs you are allowed - is that how many you must have or is that the number that you shouldn't go over?

Thanks!

I got an optimal range from my nutritionist, as in:

Breakfast 1-2 carbs

Lunch 3-4 carbs

Dinner 3-4 carbs

Snack 1-2 carbs

It's a really good idea to eat some carbs, as wheat bread, fruit, and other foods with carbs really do have good nutrients for you and LO.

Let me see if I understand.   When you say 1-2 carbs you mean 1-2 servings?  Which would mean 15g-30g carbs????

Yeah, that's what I mean. Sorry for the confusion/shorthand.

I'm just glad I was able to figure it out.

Yeah, you'll catch on to all of it in no time.

It's the number to try not to go over for carbs. They just told me to make sure I take in enough carbs in general, so that way my body doesn't start burning fat that's stored.

It's rough at first, but you get it!
