AHA Recommendation. The American Heart Association recommends aiming for a dietary pattern that achieves 5% to 6% of calories from saturated fat. For example, if you need about 2,000 calories a day, no more than 120 of them should come from saturated fats. Thatâs about 13 grams of saturated fats a day.
Generally speaking, you should be able to eat 50-100 grams per day of carbohydrates and lose weight. Maybe 100 on workout days and 50 on non workout days. Keep your carbs around your workout and have protein/fat meals the rest of the day.Hey.

Adjust Your Carb Intake to Your Activity Level. Eat 1 to 2 grams per pound of ideal body weight. Switching between burning fat and building muscle is mainly accomplished by adjusting your carb intake. Keep your carb intake at lower levels to burn fat and lose weight, and at higher levels to gain lean muscle. Try to eat lean carbs such as yams, brown rice, oatmeal, vegetables and fruits. Avoid junk food and high-glycemic carbs such as sugar, pastries, honey, candy bars and soft drinks.
