WANT TO LEARN HOW MANY CARBS YOU NEED A DAY,FOUND THIS IN RESEACH How Many Carbs Per Day? Contrary to popular belief low carb is not the only way to lose weight and it's also not for everyone. For most people the best type of diet for weightloss is one that still allows you a lot of the foods you like so you don't feel deprived and start cheating. It's close to balanced but almost low carb with the following breakdown of total calories, 45% carbs, 25% protein, and 25% fat. No matter what your situation you should never take in less than 1200 calories a day and for those who workout this amount of calories could send your body into starvation mode so be sure to figure your ideal calorie intake before cutting back. Create a small calorie deficit and multiply your daily calories by 45% for your daily carb calories. Then divide that amount by 4 to determine how many grams of carbs you need per day. Here's a few calorie ranges broken down into carbs calories and grams: 1300 cal./day - 585 carb cal./day - 146g carbs/day 1400 cal./day - 630 carb cal./day - 157g carbs/day 1500 cal./day - 675 carb cal./day - 169g carbs/day 1600 cal./day - 720 carb cal./day - 180g carbs/day
