                                According to the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, the Acceptable Macronutrient Distribution Range (AMDR) for carbohydrates is 45–65% of total daily calories. However, defining exactly "how many carbs per day is high?" is not a one-size-fits-all metric and depends heavily on individual factors like activity level, health status, and the *type* of carbohydrates consumed.
