What is a Carb Intake Calculator?
A Carbohydrate (Carb) Intake Calculator is a smart tool that helps you determine how many grams of carbs you should consume each day based on your age, gender, weight, activity level, and health goals. Whether you're managing your weight, balancing blood sugar levels, or following a low-carb or keto lifestyle, knowing your ideal carb intake is essential for better health and performance.
At Lo! Foods, we simplify carb tracking so you can eat confidently and live better—with delicious, low-carb options that support your journey.
Why Tracking Carb Intake Matters
Carbohydrates are a key source of energy for your body—but too much or too little can impact your goals. The right carb intake can help you:
- Maintain consistent energy levels
- Support weight loss or muscle gain
- Manage blood sugar and insulin sensitivity
- Reduce cravings and improve digestion
- Stay in ketosis (for low-carb/keto diets)
Knowing your ideal carb range ensures you’re fueling your body efficiently while staying aligned with your lifestyle and goals.
How to Use the Carb Calculator
- Enter the Food Item – Start entering a common food name like "apple," "chicken curry," “rice”
- Select the Right Option – As you type, a list of options will appear. Choose the most accurate match from the suggestions.
- Review the Carb Content – The calculator will show you the Carbs per 100 g, Glycemic Index and Glycemic Load
Types of Carbohydrates Explained
Not all carbs are created equal. Here’s what you should know:
- Simple Carbs: Found in sugar, soda, white bread—quick energy but cause spikes in blood sugar.
- Complex Carbs: Found in whole grains, legumes, and vegetables—release energy slowly and offer fiber.
- Net Carbs: Total carbs minus fiber and sugar alcohols. Important for keto/low-carb diets.
Choosing complex, high-fiber carbs can support weight control and sustained energy better than refined carbs.
Recommended Daily Carb Intake by Goal
| Health Goal | Carb Intake Range (grams/day) |
| Weight Loss (Low-Carb) | 50 – 130g (based on activity) |
| Weight Maintenance | 150 – 250g |
| Muscle Gain | 250 – 350g+ |
| Keto Diet | 20 – 50g (net carbs) |
Note: Carb needs may vary based on metabolism, insulin response, and dietary restrictions.
Tips for Smarter Carb Consumption
- Prioritize Fiber: Choose whole veggies, legumes, and seeds over refined carbs.
- Watch for Hidden Sugars: Sauces, packaged foods, and drinks often contain added carbs.
- Portion Control: Even healthy carbs like rice or fruit should be eaten in moderation.
- Track Net Carbs (for Keto): Focus on fiber-rich foods and subtract fiber from total carbs.
- Time Your Carbs: Active individuals may benefit from eating more carbs around workouts.
