Grams of Carbs. Determine the number of grams of carbs you need each day by calculating 45 to 65 percent of your total calorie intake, and dividing by 4. For example, if you eat a 2,000-calorie diet, shoot for 225 to 325 grams of carbs per day; and if you eat 2,500 calories a day, aim for 281 to 406 grams of carbs. Adults who drop their intake to 1,200 calories a day for weight loss need about 50 percent of their calories from carbs, or 150 grams per day.
If you know how many calories you need each day, you can figure out how many grams of carbs you need: Start by determining your daily calorie need and divide that number in half. That's how many calories should come from carbohydrates. Each gram of carbohydrate has four calories. Divide the number you got from the first step by four. The final number is equal to the amount of carbohydrates in grams you need each day.
