Foodwise, maintenance looks like this:

How many carbs can you eat?
I range from 40-60 on any given day for maintenance. During active weight loss mode 30-40.
What rung can you eat?
I stick mainly up to rung 5 Occassionally I will eat a corn tortilla or some refried beans. I eat occassionally 1/2 an apple with some cheese, but stay away from the sweeter fruits such as cherries and melons--they induce cravings. I rarely if ever eat wheat products.
Do you count calories?
I don't "count" calories, but I do keep track. It keeps me from overeating. With that said I have hungry days which can be 2200 cals and not so hungry days that could be 1300. Average about 1600-1800.
If you eat fruit or other carby foods, do you aim to make low GI choices?
I always try to choose the item that is going to have the least carb impact. If it's a question of quality, I ask myself is this <blank> really worth it and something I want to spend my carb bank on.
My maintenance looks very much like my OWL.

Progress not perfection.
