Question

Bob was recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. his dietitian recommended that bob follow an 1,800-kcal meal plan for weight loss. she went on to say that he should also follow the food and nutrition board (fnb recommendation of getting 45% to 65% of these calories from carbohydrate. this is equivalent to ______ grams of carbohydrate per day

Answer 1

In a 1,800 calories a day diet just like what Bob should have, it will be an equivalent of 203 – 293 grams of carbohydrates daily.  Assume that we will have the maximum intake, which is 293 grams; we just need to get the 45 – 65 % of it.  So it will be 190.45 grams per day.
