Frequently Asked Questions
What percentage of calories should come from carbohydrates?
USDA Dietary Guidelines suggest carbohydrates make up 45 to 65 percent of total daily calories for most adults.
How is the minimum carbohydrate recommendation calculated?
Separate from the calorie-based percentage range, a general minimum of about 130 grams (520 kcal) of carbohydrates per day is often cited to ensure adequate glucose supply for brain and body function.
Why is there a separate simple sugar limit?
Within your total carbohydrate allowance, health guidelines recommend limiting simple (added) sugars specifically to no more than about 10 percent of total calories, since excess added sugar is linked to various health risks.
Do low-carb diets go below this recommended range?
Yes, popular low-carb and ketogenic diets intentionally consume carbohydrates well below the standard 45 to 65 percent range. This calculator reflects general population guidelines, not diet-specific targets.
