Simple Tip to Control Your Carbohydrate Intake (Without Cutting Carbs Out)

Most Americans are consuming 200–350g of carbs per day, and the majority of that comes from high-processed foods that spike hunger, cravings, and energy crashes.
A better approach?
Place your carbs where your body can actually use them.
Put most of your carbs around your training sessions — before or after your workout. This improves performance, recovery, and keeps blood sugar more stable throughout the day.
Choose carbs that fuel you, not drain you.
Focus on fruit and starchy veggies (berries, apples, potatoes, squash, oats, rice).
You’ll get fiber, micronutrients, and steady energy instead of empty calories.
Cut the “liquid carbs.”
Sugary drinks, fancy coffees, juices, “healthy” ice teas — these add up fast.
Replace them with water, mineral water, or the occasional sugar-free option.
Anchor every meal with protein.
Increase your protein portions and slightly decrease the carb portion.
This helps with satiety, supports lean muscle, and boosts your fat-burning potential.
You don’t need to eliminate carbs — you just need to control when and where they show up in your day.
Control your carbs.
Don’t cut them.
