Question

Does anyone know what our total carbohydrate consumption is supposed to be daily while in phase 1 ? Thanks in advance

Answer 1

Net carbs should be around 40-50

Comments

@potamic this is what I’ve been told from fellow participants. I track my food on the ip app and even with following protocol sometimes I’m over these numbers

---

@emersonemery where are you getting the carbs from?  

---

@chokedamp fellow people on the ideal protein site. Usually I’m around that as well

---

Today’s around 43

---

@emersonemery i mean what is the sourse of your carbs if you're following the ip plan?  

---

@chokedamp from the packets, protein, and veggies I think that’s what your asking

---

@emersonemery but aren't you saying you are going over allowed carb intake?  

---

I meet with the coach this Saturday. I will be sure and ask. Thanks

---

@chokedamp no from what people have said our intake is 40-50 but even with following plan depending on what packets I eat sometimes it’s more than that but only around 55 or so . I follow the plan, just input everything in the app and just let the plan work it’s magic

---

I have the start-up bag for the first week. However, with all the different varieties they gave me, it just seems like there’s a big difference in the carb total on some of the products, especially the “one a day restricted” items.  

---

I am going to look in getting the app.  

---

@potamic it’s true and depends on what products u eat. Some people don’t eat a restricted and some do. I try to eat a restricted in the morning but that’s my preference, if I have something with higher carbs such as a pancake or trail mix, I would have my third packet as a shake, drink mix or soup. It all depends on you. But the rule of the plan is to have 2 packets, 1 restricted, 4-6 ounces of protein(United states) and 4 cups of veggies. I let the plan do it’s magic. I’ve lost 31 pounds in 11 weeks

---

@potamic I forget what I had to do to get it

---

Thanks for the input. I am still in the Learning phase

---

@potamic me too. I just follow the plan. I do weigh my self every day and if the scale doesn’t move closer to a week, I eat 4 packets a day for 1-3 days and no protein to get the scale moving.  

---

@potamic this page is very helpful too

---

@potamic you welcome

Answer 2

From what I'm adding up, I'm getting about 25 to 30 carbs daily. That's meat veggies and ideal protein food combined.

@subtrahend what packets do u eat?  

---

Choc pancake, nacho cheese doritos, salted caramel clusters.  

---

@subtrahend on my boxes its 28 carbs just from 1 Dorados and 1 choc chip pancakes. How can those, salted caramel clusters, meat and veggies only be adding up to 25-30 carbs daily?  

---

It's net carbs.  

Answer 3

If you eat your 3 packets per day and your 4-6 oz lean protein and your vegetables there is no need to count carbs.

I was just curious because I like to use the Ip salad dressing on my 4 cups of daily vegetables.  

---

@potamic that’s allowed. You get 4 extras per day  

Answer 4

You’re supposed to hover around 40g of carbs

Answer 5

Good question! I just realized that every cup of frozen riced cauliflower has 5 grams of carbs! Yikes! That can’t be good?!?!  

Comments

@camphor1444 is that net carbs? I don’t think I’ve even looked. I just assumed vegetables would be low.  

---

@alienation58 no idea! I don’t even know what that means! I just eat the sheet and try not to think about it! No more looking at labels for me! Lol
