Choosing the Right Carb Intake
Carbohydrates are your body's primary fuel source, especially for high-intensity activity. However, needs vary greatly based on activity and metabolic health.
- Keto (20-50g): Forces body to burn fat for fuel (ketosis). Best for rapid weight loss and insulin sensitivity.
- Low Carb (50-130g): Reduces insulin spikes while allowing for more vegetable and fruit variety.
- Moderate (130-250g): Standard recommendation for active individuals. Balanced energy.
- High Carb (250g+): Essential for endurance athletes and those with very high metabolism.
