Detailed explanation-1: -* Percent Daily Values are based on a 2, 000 calorie diet. Your daily value may be higher or lower depending on your calorie needs. The % Daily Value (DV) tells you how much a nutrient in a serving of food contributes to a daily diet. 2, 000 calories a day is used for general nutrition advice.
Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -The Daily Values are reference amounts (expressed in grams, milligrams, or micrograms) of nutrients to consume or not to exceed each day. The %DV shows how much a nutrient in a serving of a food contributes to a total daily diet. The %DV helps you determine if a serving of food is high or low in a nutrient.
