Carbohydrate Calculator

Estimate daily carbohydrate intake from calorie needs, carbohydrate percentage, or the body measurements and goal entered.

Carbohydrate Calculator

The Carbohydrate Calculator helps estimate how many grams of carbohydrate correspond to a selected daily calorie target and carbohydrate share. It can be useful when planning a macronutrient target.

Carbohydrate formula

Carbohydrates provide about 4 calories per gram. When a calorie target and carbohydrate percentage are known, carbohydrate grams = daily calories Γ— carbohydrate percentage Γ· 4.

Using the calculator

Enter the values requested by the calculator and check that a percentage is entered as a percentage rather than as a whole-number calorie value. Calculate the result to see the estimated grams of carbohydrate.

Putting the number in context

Carbohydrate requirements vary with activity, overall diet, goals, and individual circumstances. The calculated value is a planning estimate rather than a universal requirement.
