What is your CCCL?

[cala]

I am not in maintenance, I am in OWL and got a long way to go. I was wondering what your CCCL was. I just visited atkins.com and they took this pole and it turned out that for most peple it's 20-35g, second largest group was 35-50. I was surprised how low it is. I expected to see something higher.

Wow, I'm surprised it's that low. I'm in Pre-Maintenance right now and I'm at 70 per day and still losing, although slowly. I always thought I had a slow metabolism (or at least that's what I told myself!). I'm really pleased that it's that high. This week it's on to 80 a day and see if I lose, gain or stay the same.

If it's one of those polls where you give them a number, then expect it to be wrong. People consistently underreport what they actually eat, whether it be calories, portion size, or carbs.

Besides, it doesn't matter if the guy next to you can eat 200g of carbs a day, since you have your body and not his.

and many folk define their CCLL as the number they can eat at and lose a pouns or 2 a week not lose any weight at all at.

I have been in Lifetime Maintenace for about 3 months now. I can average about 50 carbs a day and maintain my current weight. Some days I have a little more some less. I have some days I may eat close to 100 carbs and others around 20. It works for me. I keep a close eye on the scales.

Amazing what I can get away with now. I still stick to the basics like avoiding sugar, high-end carb vegables, regular flour and the like.
I remember struggling to lose anything If stayed around 20 carbs a day.
Life is wonderful now!

I have no idea .. I just eat legal foods that I enjoy .. If I had to guess, I'd say its around 50 a day, but then I run alot.
