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.
Daily Carbohydrate Intake. Once you know your total caloric intake for the day, you can then determine your daily carbohydrate needs. Between 45 and 65 percent of your total calories should come from carbohydrates. If you require 2,550 calories in a day, then 1,148 to 1,658 of those calories should come from carbs. Because carbohydrates carry 4 calories to the gram, this translates to roughly 287 to 415 g of carbs per day.
