Common questions
How many carbs should I eat per day?
The Dietary Guidelines recommend 45–65% of daily calories from carbohydrates. For a 2,000-calorie diet, that is 225–325 grams. Low-carb diets typically target 20–100 g/day.
What is the difference between simple and complex carbs?
Simple carbs (sugar, white bread) are digested quickly and spike blood sugar. Complex carbs (whole grains, vegetables) digest slower and provide more sustained energy and fiber.
