I hope you weren't offended, his remarks seemed to only clarify, not insult to me.
Your diet is very high carb. Not by the standards of modern nutritionists, of course. But the point I was trying to make is that today's standards, especially the Food Pyramid's, are outrageously high carb. A "low carb" way of eating that puts, say, 30-100 carbs total on your plate a day, is probably a moderate carb diet by the standards of our human ancestors before we developed agriculture (at least in many cases). It's impossible to say what "high" and "low" carb really are, because there isn't any objectivity on either side. However, I think calling 200+ carbs a day anything but "high" carb isn't accurate.
I am on a moderate carb diet, and think that if you exceed 100 grams a day, you're on a high carb diet.
