Hi Folks,
I have recently been obsessing about the carb load in my paleo diet. Reason?
In the archives I found a section on "average day" menus that showed quite a
lot of variation.
Atkins states that 100gm of carbs is a good maintenance and that the average
American takes in 300+/day. One person posted the following:
My usual Paleo diet is:
- Lots of red meat, especially beef.
- Bacon and Eggs, with occasional cheese omelets, lots of butter.
- Roast Pork
- A little chicken or turkey
- 1 lb. Salmon once a week cooked on the backyard grill.
- About 7 apples a day
- About 3 pears a day
- One HUGE salad of lettuce (various types), raw broccoli, occasional
tomatoes, olive oil.
- A lot of salt on the meats and salad.
- Odds and ends, strawberries if there any good that day, blueberries,
radishes, cucumber, melons, onions, garlic.
The apples and pears alone add up to nearly 225gm of carbs/day. Any
thoughts?
I also wonder if eating paleo would naturally be low-salt.
