Answer 2

Carbohydrates should be kept to a minimum. When carbohydrates are metabolized, they cause a spike in blood sugar, which is then mitigated by insulin, which then carries the excess glucose to fat cells for storage. 150 grams or so a day for healthy, active adults, and below 100 if you're trying to lose weight. Most of your calories should be coming from fat, and for the most part you should let your appetite be your guide. email me if you'd like more details.

According to the USDA's MyPyramid guidelines, the allowance for an average adult is between 5 and 7 teaspoons of fat, translating into approximately 11-13 grams of fat.
