[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]

I don’t think there is a recommended daily carb intake.  Majority of foods contain carbs and your body is able to use the efficiently for energy.  I think you have to look at 1) if you are gaining weight, 2) if your blood sugar tests too high.  If your weight and blood sugar are normal, I wouldn’t carb count.

There is a strong recommendation on how many grams of whole grains you should be getting though.  90 grams per day (or more) is shown to significantly reduce risk of GI cancers and certain heart disease. It is not just about fiber.
