                                The Institute of Medicine has set the Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) for carbohydrates for adults at 130 grams per day. This value, which represents the minimum amount required to fuel the brain, often differs from the broader Acceptable Macronutrient Distribution Range (AMDR) for total daily calories. Understanding the distinction is crucial for balanced nutrition.
