AHA Recommendation. The American Heart Association recommends aiming for a dietary pattern that achieves 5% to 6% of calories from saturated fat. For example, if you need about 2,000 calories a day, no more than 120 of them should come from saturated fats. Thatâs about 13 grams of saturated fats a day.
Generally speaking, you should be able to eat 50-100 grams per day of carbohydrates and lose weight. Maybe 100 on workout days and 50 on non workout days. Keep your carbs around your workout and have protein/fat meals the rest of the day.Hey. Now, i read A LOT about low carb diet.enerally speaking, you should be able to eat 50-100 grams per day of carbohydrates and lose weight. Maybe 100 on workout days and 50 on non workout days. Keep your carbs around your workout and have protein/fat meals the rest of the day. Hey.
In case you are wondering how a carb stacks up to a gram of fat or of protein: 1 gram of protein = 4 calories. 1 gram of fat = 9 calories. A Better Answer: 50-100 grams per day for weight loss and 100-150 to maintain weight. Following the recommendation from the USDA on how many carbs to eat everyday would probably result in weight gain and at the least in not losing weight â assuming you were eating the right amounts of other foods. By sticking with 50-100 grams of carbs a day, you can still lose weight and do so in a much more healthy and reasonable fashion.
