How many carb grams should i intake

Im 5'8, 163lbs, and have been losing weight fro the last 6 months. I have 10 lbs to go but am struggling to accomplish this task. For the last 6 months ive been watching the amount of calories and sugar i eat but havent been tracking carb grams as closely.

How many carb grams is recommended for me?

This is just my two cents:

I'd carb cycle. I would only take in 50-55g of carbs on days you do NOT lift weights, and 25-30g of that should be fiber.

On the days you do lift weights, same fiber intake, but total carbs can get up to say 150g. you'll want the bulk of those starchy/sugary carbs split between pre-workout, and post-workout, so you've got the energy to get a good workout.

plus the carb cycling keeps you from feeling like ass, which is common for a lot of people who are just going low carb, rather than cycling it.

your total calories should stay consistent...which means more protein and healthy fats on the 50g days.

Indeed you may end up consuming 250-300g of protein on those low carb days to maintain your cutting calorie intake.

LV turned me onto this, and it works. its best if you can do some low impact cardio first thing in the morning for like 40-60 minutes...like a long brisk walk, or swimming non-competitively.
