You need glucose to power cells throughout your body. Since glucose from carbohydrates is the primary energy source throughout your system, most of your calories, or 45 to 65 percent, need to come from this macronutrient. Carbs have 4 calories per gram.If you usually stick to a strict 1,800-calorie diet each day, you need 202 to 292 grams of carbs. Nearly all foods, except for eggs, meat, poultry and some seafood, have carbohydrates.rotein is well-known for its role in adding to lean muscle mass, but protein also gives structure to all cells and provides energy when carbs and fat are not available.

It is recommended that your daily caloric intake should be made up of 40-60% carbohydrates. Most people would agree that making carbohydrates around 50% of your daily calorie intake is a good rule of thumb, and has been proven an effective ratio as part of a bodybuilding diet. So, how many grams of carbohydrates is that exactly? This is easy to determine when we know that 1 gram of carbohydrates equals 4 calories. Letâs say you need to consume 3,000 calories per day to build muscle. If carbohydrates make up 50% of your diet, you will need to consume 1,500 calories worth of carbohydrates. At 4 calories per gram, 1,500 divided by 4 would equal about 375 grams of carbohydrates every day. Your own caloric intake will vary a lot based on your own personal goal, and BMR.
