Frequently Asked Questions

How many calories are in one gram of carbohydrate?

Carbohydrates provide exactly 4.0 calories per gram.

What is a healthy carbohydrate intake for adults 45+?

Active adults generally thrive on 2.0 to 3.5 grams of unrefined, high-fibre carbohydrates per kilogram of body weight, centered around workouts.

Should I eliminate carbs for fat loss?

No. Completely eliminating carbs impairs thyroid T3 production and elevates nocturnal cortisol. Choosing low-glycemic, high-fibre carbohydrates (sweet potatoes, oats, berries, legumes) preserves energy and satiety.
