How many carbohitdraytes should someone eat if there on a 2500 caliore diet?
As a dietitian, I tell my clients that about half of their daily
intake should come from carbohydrates. So, if you're eating 2500
calories/day, then 250 grams should be carbohydrate. However, it is
also important to keep in mind what type of carbohydrates you're
eating. Choosing whole grain products (i.e. 100% whole wheat) such
as cereals, breads and pastas, brown rice, nuts, seeds, legumes,
veggies and fruits is just as important. Higher fiber carbohydrates
can also be beneficial. Limiting refined carbohydrates such as junk
foods, pastries, cookies, cakes, chips, soft drinks, and candy is a
great way to promote better health!
