I eat <50 net carbs per day and <20 per meal. Half the time I get <30 by accident, it just depends what I'm doing that day and if I indulge in bedtime chocolate or not (85% dark chocolate). I eat meat, but not a ton so this lets me have some hummus, black beans, and higher carb veggies and be satisfied with the variety.

When I tried <20/day in the past I found myself eating a lot of cheese, not enough vegetables, and creating a lot of anxiety for myself trying to count every little carb in everything. So in the long run I find this more sustainable and healthier in a lot of ways.

For me personally I don't have a problem losing this way so I'll keep going as long as it works. I certainly forsee the possibility of someday needing to keep closer tabs on my carb counts if weight loss slows or stalls, but for now it's working and I suppose I'll just be grateful for that!
