Guest guest Posted January 2, 2008 Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 Hello Dana, Our practices suggests the patient remain below 40 grams per day. > > Does anyone know of good recommendations for CHO g/day? The reason I ask is because a patient post gastric banding wanted an exact # or range for CHO grams/day to aim for. I know they are restricting so many kcal and focus on getting the protein recommendations..so I told her to try to get at least 80-100 g CHO/day to prevent ketosis but to focus more on making sure she gets in enough protein at mealtime and eat nutrient dense/low sugar/low fat carbohydrate sources (whole grains, fruits and veggies, etc.). Any ideas/suggestions?
