As you go up the periodic table, ionization energies also increase. To continue the example, fluorine lies highest and farthest to the right, so it has the highest ionization energy. Rank the other elements in the group from highest and farthest to the right down to lowest and farthest to the left. This is the order of their ionization energies. To continue the example, fluorine has a higher ionization energy than sulfur, which has a higher ionization energy than lithium. Notice that hydrogen is something of an anomaly -- its ionization energy lies between that of carbon and nitrogen, but it's usually placed in column 1.
Ask your healthcare provider for a referral to a dietitian in your community. In the meantime, you can get started by thinking about how much carb to aim for at each of your meals and any snacks that you may eat. In general, women need about 45 to 60 grams of carb per meal and 15 grams of carb per snack. Men usually need more carb, so a starting goal is 60 to 75 grams of carb per meal and 15 to 30 grams of carb per snack. If you prefer, you can use carb servings instead of grams.
Half of each meal. The U.S. Department of Agriculture recommends that you get between 45% and 65% of your calories from carbs. You could think of this as half your plate at each meal can be taken up by carbs. Carbohydrates in grams. To be more precise, count the carbs. You can see how many grams of carbohydrates are in packaged foods by reading the nutrition facts labels. For non-packaged foods, you can look this information up online. The Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) for carbs is 130 grams per day. Per meal this comes to about: 1  60-75 grams of carbohydrates per meal for men. 2  45-60 grams per meal for women.
