Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -For example, for 2, 000 calories the USDA MyPlate Plan recommends: Grains 6 ounces. Vegetables 2½ cups.
Detailed explanation-2: -Anywhere from 10% to 35% of your calories should come from protein. So if your needs are 2, 000 calories, that’s 200–700 calories from protein, or 50–175 grams.
Detailed explanation-3: -How many carbohydrates do you need? 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.
