How many carbohydrates can I eat a day. I'm a 64 year old female?

Answer 1

Depends on what your trying to achieve..

maintenance, weight loss or gain.

You also need to take into account your activity levels and BMR

Google the BMR calculator-that will tell you your maintenance..or how much to eat to stay the way you are.

It takes your height weight and age and uses a formula to create a Basic requirement rate, from there you multiply the answer by you activity level to get your daily caloric expenditure.

Then divide the answer by 100, this is 1%..then is multiplied by the following numbers to achieve your requirements.

A balanced diet is

40% protein

40% carbs

20 EFA(healthy fats)

That gives you your maintenance, if you are attempting increase or decrease your weight, either increase your expenditure via exercise, then decrease your intake, and for gain vise versa

Anything else
