The Institute of Medicine recommends a minimum of 130 grams of carbohydrates per day, which is the average minimal usage of glucose that the brain uses on a daily basis. You need 2,361 Calories/day to maintain your weight. You should take 252 (40%) - 472 (75%) grams of carbohydrate for your energy needs. (55% = 346 grams, 65% = 409 grams). You need 1,861 Calories/day to lose 0.5 kg per week. You should take 198 (40%) - 372 (75%) grams of carbohydrate for your energy needs. (55% = 273 grams, 65% = 323 grams). You need 1,361 Calories/day to lose 1 kg per week. You should take 145 (40%) - 272 (75%) grams of carbohydrate for your energy needs. (55% = 200 grams, 65% = 236 grams). You need 2,861 Calories/day to gain 0.5 kg per week. You should take 305 (40%) - 572 (75%) grams of carbohydrate for your energy needs.
Therefore, if your weight-loss energy goal is 1,400 calories per day, multiply 1,400 by 0.45 and by 0.65 -- equaling 630 to 910 calories -- to determine how many of your total calories should be from carbohydrates.Then, divide each of these number by 4 calories, which is 157 to 228 grams of carbs per day.or example, if youâre eating 1,200 calories a day, aim for 135 to 195 grams of carbs -- and if your weight-loss calorie requirement is 1,600 calories daily, shoot for 180, but no more than 260, grams of carbs per day.
