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.
The Number of Carbs in a Low-Carb Diet. The term âlow-carb dietâ doesnât have a legal definition, which results in diverse interpretations. For example, the Atkins Diet begins at 20 to 50 grams of carbs daily in Phase I, then allows 75 to 100 grams in later phases. In 2008, the American Diabetes Association defined a low-carb diet as one that has fewer than 130 grams daily, according to a report in Nutrition and Metabolism.
