Recommended daily carbohydrate intake range (45–65% of calories).

Worth Knowing

The 45–65% range used here is the Acceptable Macronutrient Distribution Range set by dietary guidelines, and where you land within it depends heavily on your activity: endurance athletes function best near the top, while someone who's largely sedentary or managing blood sugar may do better toward the bottom. Note that carbohydrate quality — whole grains, fruit, and legumes versus refined sugar — affects satiety and blood-glucose response far more than the raw percentage does.
