New Mexico State University was founded in 1888. And it has grown as Las Cruces has grown. The establishment of White Sands Missile Range in 1944 and White Sands Test Facility in 1963 has been integral to population growth.
The Basic Equation. Begin by multiplying your total daily calories by 45 percent and then multiply the total daily calories by 65 percent. These two numbers provide the range of calories that should come from carbohydrates. Then, divide both of those numbers by 4, since each gram of carbohydrate contains 4 calories. The two numbers you get from this equation provide the range of carbohydrate grams you should eat per day.
If you decide to use carbohydrate counting as your approach to meal planning, you'll learn how many grams of carbohydrates are in each of the foods you eat and keep track of how much you eat. In the carbohydrate counting method, 15 grams of carbohydrate is equal to one carbohydrate serving. How many grams of carbohydrate you need each day depends on how many calories you need to stay at a healthy weight. A woman who needs about 1,500 calories a day will aim for 180 to 195 grams of carbohydrate or about 12 to 13 carbohydrate servings a day.
