Under a separate agreement, ICQ, the world's largest online communications community, and CNN Interactive will develop a co-branded news offering to be distributed through ICQ's Website and the ICQ client.
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.
And when you see headlines about low carbohydrate diets in the news, the low carb diets studied are often much lower in carbohydrates as well. In one large study of diets, for example, researchers defined a low carbohydrate diet as any diet that allowed a maximum intake of 60 grams of carbohydrates per day. While another recent study defined a low carbohydrate diet as less than 40 grams per day.
