Carbohydrates are not evil. 

We need them as our body’s main source of energy. 

They help fuel your brain, kidneys, heart muscles, and central nervous system.

The KEY with carbohydrates is getting the RIGHT AMOUNT! Typically, the less active you are, the lower percentage of your diet needs to come from carbs.

Here’s a simple equation to figure out your needs:

Total kcals – Protein kcals – Fat kcals = Carb kcals

EXAMPLE:

Female

160 pounds / 73kg

Daily calorie target = 1920

Daily protein target = 131 grams / 524 kcals from protein

Daily fat target = 55 grams / 495 kcals from fat

1920 – 524 – 495 = 901 daily carb calories = 225 grams

If all this seems to complex, don’t worry. We’re here to help!
