Here’s the truth: there’s no single magic number. Your perfect daily carb intake depends on stuff like how much you move, your age, and your personal goals. Most people do fine with somewhere between 45% to 65% of their total calories coming from carbs.
That sounds technical, but let’s make it simple. If you eat about 2,000 calories a day, that math gives you around 225 to 325 grams of carbs. That’s roughly five to seven servings of grain-based foods, plus fruits and veggies.
