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.
According to Volek and Phinney, a âwell-formulatedâ low-carb diet should be low-carb, high-fat and moderate protein. A good range to aim for is 1.5 â 2.0 grams per kilogram of bodyweight, or 0.7 â 0.9 grams per pound. Bottom Line: Protein can be turned into glucose via a process called gluconeogenesis and excessive protein consumption can prevent you from getting into ketosis.
