Low-Carb Vegies | Net Carbohydrates Intake

#### Net Carbohydrates Intake
Net carbs (total carbs minus fiber) are kept low to maintain ketosis. The range is generally fixed across LBM and activity levels, as ketosis depends on carb restriction rather than body size:
- **Standard**: 20–50 g/day (5–10% of calories). Stricter keto (e.g., therapeutic) may aim for <20 g/day.
- **Note**: Activity level doesn’t significantly alter carb needs, but active individuals may tolerate closer to 50 g for glycogen replenishment.

Have a little as possible
