Tag: 30 percent carbs

According to the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, a balanced diet consists of 45–65% of daily calories from carbohydrates. A 30 percent carbohydrate intake is significantly below this general recommendation, placing it within the moderate to lower-carb spectrum, but whether it is truly considered low carb depends on various definitions and individual context.

According to the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, the Acceptable Macronutrient Distribution Range (AMDR) for carbohydrates is 45% to 65% of your total daily calories. A 30% carb intake, therefore, falls below this standard recommendation, placing it in the category of a low-carb diet.
