Understanding your result
How many carbs a day?
There's no single right number. A typical adult diet provides around 225–325 g of carbohydrate a day (about 45–65% of energy). Lower-carb approaches aim for roughly 50–150 g. Set your own target above based on your goals or your care team's advice.
⚕️ Carb values are typical averages per serving and will vary by brand and portion. General guidance, not personalised dietary or diabetes advice — follow your care plan.
