Depends on you.
Most nutritionists recommend 130g/day regardless of metabolic state or level of activity.
I am diabetic, I cannot tolerate that many carbs unless I'm on vials of insulin every day. I prefer to stick to 60g carbs/day or less and let my body use fats for fuel for the rest of what it needs for energy.
Some people do well on 20 - 30g carbs or less....LCHF diet.
Some people prefer to maintain weight on 80 to 100g of carbs a day.
Is that net carbs or total carbs?

Whatever you choose. I go by net carbs.

IMO, if the food has a label then it shouldn't be eaten LOL I go for whole foods, although some of those even have nutritional labels. IMO a good carb source is also packed with natural nutrition, such as those found in veggies, fruits, nuts, etc. A bad carb source is one that is enriched with nutrients, if it has any at all. You also don't want the grams of sugar on the label to be the same or only slightly lower than the total carb count. Fruit may be the exception.
Find the book "Good Carbs Bad Carbs" by Gary Taubes. Some very important info in there.

A net carb is total carbs minus fiber.
Quoting ReadWriteLuv: I strive to stay around 60 net carbs.
