That's all I got out of the post. It's a bit of an odd thread. The thread title is how many carbs he needs, but there's zero background information from him or his situation except him questioning whether he needs a substantial amount of carbs on easy rides?

Maybe he doesn't really know, either.

Frankly, if you're not bonking, you probably don't need any more calories. And if you are, you do.

If you're getting fatter, you don't. If you're losing a lot of weight (and don't want to), you do.

It's a pretty elementary topic.
