How Many Carbs For Weight Loss?
The role of carbs in weight loss diets is very controversial and always hotly debated. I will try to make setting up your diet as simple as possible, so here is my recommendation based on what we know from scientific studies about optimal carb intake.
If you don't exercise then carbs are completely optional and you can include them or cut them from your diet. But if you regularly exercise then they are pretty much a must. Carbohydrates are the body's preferred energy source and as long as you stick to quality sources you will feel the difference.
So if we assume you exercise, how many grams of carbs do you need?
The most straightforward way is to calculate your protein and fat intakes first and then subtract those from your daily calories. Next, you simply fill the rest of your daily calories with carbs.
It's really that easy.
We will go over an example later in the course, so don't worry if you don't know how to do this, yet.
