What is the daily intake of carbohydrates for males?

Answer 1

If he is normal weight don't worry about it. Just make sure the carbs he eats are healthy ones. that is fruit and vegetables, whole grains (rice and bread) and not sugary sodas, chips and candy. The occasional Pizza does no harm, just not every day.

Answer 2

* It depends on how active they are, the more active they are the more carbohydrate they need.

* It also depends on whether or not they are trying to sustain weight or lose body fat. For more information about the daily intake of carbohydrates to sustain weight and to lose weight, see the relevant page link, further down this page, listed under Related Questions.

Answer 3

From my understanding it should be 60% of your calorie intake. Since you typically get 4 calories per carb intake calculate your recommended carb intake as follows:

(Recommended Calorie intake * .60) / 4 = Recommended Carb intake

Example: Recomended Calorie intake: 3000 (relatively accurate for an adult male who is pretty active)

3000 * .60 = 1800

1800 / 4 = 450 grams of carbs

WHAT IS THE CARBOHYDRATE INTAKE FOR MEN AND WOMEN

So, what is the carbohydrate intake for men and women? Well, here are different option. One is for those who are trying to lose weight and the other is for those who are trying to maintain weight.

THOSE WHO ARE TRYING TO LOSE WEIGHT

If you ARE trying to lose weight, 20 - 60 grams are recommended depending on your level of activity. Certain types of carbohydrate have many beneficial phytochemicals and fiber so eating some is fine as long as they are not refined processed carbohydrates.

THOSE WHO ARE NOT TRYING TO LOSE WEIGHT

If you are NOT trying to lose weight, 180 - 230 grams are sometimes recommended. However, unlike protein and fats, there is no minimum daily requirement of carbohydrate in order to flourish physically or to sustain life.

CRUCIAL HEALTH ADVICE FOR BOTH GROUPS

However, for the sake of good health, irrespective of whether you want to maintain weight, lose weight, or gain weight, strictly limit refined processed carbohydrates (apart from an occasional treat) If you are unsure what these foods are, at the bottom of this answer you will find a page link leading to a full list.

As deliciously addictive as they are, over-consumption of these foods is a major cause of heart disease, weight gain, obesity, hypertension, insulin resistance, type 2 Diabetes, metabolic syndrome, and many other diet related diseases. These diseases became pervasive in the twentieth century primarily because of our high consumption and love for refined processed carbohydrates.

Replace those foods with more of the nutritious specific fat burning proteins and make full use of the excellent thermic effect of these nutritious foods. If you are unsure what these foods are, further down this page, you will find a page links leading to a full list, and detailed information about the thermic effect of foods.

Unfortunately, many overweight people, and many normal weight people, are addicted to refined processed carbohydrates, which leads compulsive eating, food cravings, emotional eating, or comfort eating. When this happens, it can lead to a variety of chronic health problems.

To help avoid this, a recent excellent book that one can borrow or buy from Amazon.com [for the USA] and Amazon.co.uk [for the UK], is a paperback or Kindle covering the refined processed carbohydrate epidemic, and what to avoid, and how to use specific proteins to protect ones health. The book provides a clear step-by-step guide for both prevention and cure.
