This Daily Carbohydrate Calculator helps you estimate your recommended daily carbohydrate intake based on your body weight and activity level.

Daily Carbohydrate Calculator

Carbohydrate Formula

Daily carbohydrates (g) = body weight (kg) × carbohydrate factor

Carbohydrate Factors

Low activity: 3–5 g per kg of body weight
Moderate activity: 5–7 g per kg of body weight
High activity: 7–10 g per kg of body weight

How It Works

The calculator multiplies your body weight by a recommended carbohydrate factor to estimate how many grams of carbohydrates you need per day.
