According to the 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans, carbohydrates should make up 45 to 65 percent of a person's total daily calorie intake. Any amount less than this could be considered low carb. For someone consuming 2,000 calories a day, this is about 225 to 325 grams of carbohydrates per day. Most low-carb diets limit carbohydrate intake to between 50 to 150 grams per day, depending on the diet.
Counting Carbohydrates. An assessment of low carbohydrate dieting by the AAFP revealed that the typical American diet consisted of 2200 calories per day, with 50 percent of the calories coming from carbohydrates (275 grams), 35 percent of calories from fats (85 grams) and 15 percent of calories from proteins (82.5 grams).
