According to the 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans, carbohydrates should make up 45 to 65 percent of a person's total daily calorie intake. Any amount less than this could be considered low carb. For someone consuming 2,000 calories a day, this is about 225 to 325 grams of carbohydrates per day. Most low-carb diets limit carbohydrate intake to between 50 to 150 grams per day, depending on the diet.
More recent studies exploring low-carb diets provide 30 to 100 grams of carbs daily. By comparison, the Institute of Medicine recommends that you get 45 to 65 percent of your daily calories from carbs, and has set the recommended dietary allowance for carbohydrate at 130 grams daily.
