How many carbs should take in a day?

Home More advice Nutrition & Fitness

Alright, so I'm not really a vegetarian but I'm cracked out on vegetables, I eat salads all the time and am not really a fan of dressing so usually I eat them plain (yeah I know I'm weird). I don't really eat much bread but I do eat sliced deli meat like turkey and ham but usually just roll it up in cheese. I eat a decent bit of fruit to.. I don't really like overly salty or overly sweet foods or greasy foods either. I have kind of a weak stomach so stuff like that usually upsets it. Anyways what I'm getting at is I read online that you should take in about 250 carbs a day, from what I can pretty much calculate from my daily intake of food I only get around 200 a day or so, sometimes a little more then that but on average around 200. Is that bad? Should I eat more carbohydrate rich foods or is 250 just a recommended number and is it actually safe to eat a little less then that? I'm 19, 6'1", skinny as hell (I use to eat unhealthy and was the same way, fast metabolism and all) and not unhealthy skinny just like 147 and a little over 6 foot tall, and generally I just tend to eat healthy, not because of any particular reason, I've just become partial to health foods. Just wondering if the way I'm eating could be dangerous for my body?
