Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
Considering that you lead a moderately active lifestyle you need 2000-2200 calories daily. Approximately 45 to 65 percent of your daily calories should come from carbohydrates. If you're following a regular 2,000-calorie diet, this means you should aim to eat about 225 to 325 grams of carbohydrates a day. Avoid bad carbs, which come from added sugar in candy, sweets and soft drinks, and instead pack your diet with healthy complex carbohydrates, such as whole grains, beans, fruits and vegetables.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Praveen Tayal.
