Detailed explanation-1: -The Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend that carbohydrates make up 45% to 65% of total daily calories. So if you get 2, 000 calories a day, between 900 and 1, 300 calories should be from carbohydrates. That translates to between 225 and 325 grams of carbs a day.
Detailed explanation-2: -Recommended Allowance In general, 45 – 65% of your daily calories should come from carbohydrates. Carbs have 4 calories/gram. Based on a 2, 000 calorie/day diet, this amounts to 900 – 1300 calories per day, or about 225 – 325 grams.
Detailed explanation-3: -Most authorities recommend that about 50 to 55% of total daily calories should consist of carbohydrates, most coming from fruits, vegetables. beans and legumes, and unrefined grains. Fewer than 10% of total daily calories should come from added sugars.
Detailed explanation-4: -The IOM calculated an acceptable macronutrient distribution range for carbohydrate (45%-65% of energy), protein (10%-35% of energy), and fat (20%-35% of energy; limit saturated and trans fats).
Detailed explanation-5: -Carbohydrate Digestion and Absorption The primary carbohydrates in the human diet are starches, sucrose, and lactose. Starches and complex polysaccharides comprise 60% of the digestible carbohydrates in the average adult Western diet.
