Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To calculate the grams of carbohydrate, multiply the total number of calories by the percentage of calories from carbohydrate and divide by 4 (since there are 4 calories per gram of carbohydrate). Therefore, for a 2000 calorie diet in which carbohydrate provides 50% of the calories, the calculation would be: 2000 x 0.50 / 4 = 250 grams of carbohydrate.
