how many carbs a day????

Jaclyn101 Posts: 8 Joined: 2003/04/26	2003/04/27, 12:09 AM I've never really been concious of my carb in take in till I really started working out in the gym an becoming more aware of what I eat. Now I am wondering what my carb in take should be in order to help me lose some weight. Right now I am 5 foot 7, 135lbs. I workout usually 5-6 days a week (I do kickboxing 3x week, and usually natilus/weights 2-3x week). What foods are recommended that are low carbs?
