Daily carb allotment

I was wondering how many carbs people are eating? I am probably eating
30-40 carbs this week, but normally I eat on an average of 100 or so. The
reason for eating so few right now is because I am trying to get down 10 or
whatever.

The reason I ask this question is, it seems like many people are really
eating low amounts of carbs. Induction levels (20) a day seems to be the
norm. Is this true?

Just wondering.

I aim for about 45.

I eat between 20-30 most days. Some days I eat as many as I can without
messing with my BG.

I'm still in induction, so I eat about 20 grams a day. Some days I eat
even less, because I don't eat enough vegetables. I certainly don't aim
at keeping this level, and since I have lost 6 kgs in the last 12 days
(approx. 13 lbs), there's absolutely no need for eating only 20 grams.
And at the moment I don't do any sports, whatsoever, so I guess that my
metabolism is quite high.

That's my level, too (20-30). I tried going higher, but my weight loss
stopped around 25-30, so I'm trying to keep it low.

I've been curious about this too, but only from people who are at their
maintenance level. I'm working my way up (at 45g net/day right now) and
I'm wondering what my max will end up being?

I'm at about 25 (which means I usually range from 20-30).

I was doing 30 for the longest time. Then carb creep started to set in.
And during that process, I realized that I felt a LOT better, and could
support my exerecise level better, on around 40-50, while still losing and
not being insanely hungry.
