Low-carb diet (LCD): 50-130g carbs daily and between 10-26% of calories
Moderate-carb diet (MCD): 130-225g carbs daily and between 26-45% of calories

That's from the suggested definitions of the Nutrition and Metabolism Society. Not that it makes any difference, just in case your brain is saying you're not really low carb if you have more than 20 g per day; not quite accurate.

TY for posting this. I, incorrectly, have at times described my way of eating as moderate carb, it's not. It's truly low carb
