Do all carbs can make me fat ?

How much carbohydrate do I need in my diet?

Everyone needs a different amount of carbohydrates. An estimated minimum is 150 gms per day for some smaller, inactive people and up to 500 gms per day for taller active people. Most people do well with 200-300 gms of carb per day. The best way to determine your carbohydrate need is to undergo a nutritional assessment by a registered dietitian who will help you define your needs. As an active student, you will find a carb level that works for you now but it will change with your weight, exercise, age and lifestyle.

Counting Carbohydrate is an easy and effective way to receive enough carbs in your diet. The website of nutritionassessment.com can help you learn to count carbs in an effective way once you have done an assessment. Labels will tell you how much carbohydrate is in food. Look closely and it will tell you how much is fibre carbs and sugar carbs. The remaining carbs are starch carbs. The sugar carbs are made up of fruit sugar, milk sugar and table sugar4.
