[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is grains.  Grains are healthy if part of a healthy diet overall.  It is a little too much carb loading for the morning for me, but maybe not for you.   What else do you eat?[/quote]

How many g of carbs a day should a thin middle aged woman have per day? I’m asking sincerely. And is there something problematic about too many carbs in the morning especially?

44 g carbs oatmeal + 30 g carbs banana = way too carbs many for breakfast?[/quote]

It really depends on the person's individual health needs, their level of exercise, etc. A serving of oatmeal (1 cup cooked) and a banana is more like 50 g of carbs combined. That seems fine for someone who runs, for example. But I think it's quite easy to eat fewer carbs for breakfast if you eat yogurt or eggs.

Regardless of that I once read that the carb should be at least 10% fiber (so 1g of fiber for 10g of total carbohydrates). White rice doesn't fit the bill, but oatmeal, sweet potatoes, etc do. Pineapple, banana, mango are on the edge, while berries and citruses are pretty good.

How much it matters, who knows, it seems like being at a healthy weight helps most.
