Dietary Guidelines for Carbohydrate Intake
How much, and what kind
Carbohydrate needs vary from person to person, influenced by activity levels, goals, age, and overall health. Rather than rigid rules, the aim is a balanced, realistic approach that you can sustain for life.
Lean towards quality sources like whole grains, vegetables, fruit and legumes, keep an eye on portions, and time more of your carbs around the days you train. That covers most of what matters.
A balanced approach
Focus on consistency over perfection. Build meals around fibre-rich carbohydrate sources, pair them with protein and healthy fats, stay hydrated, and adjust intake around your activity levels.
As with all nutrition, individual needs differ. People with existing medical conditions should consult a qualified healthcare provider before making significant dietary changes.
