Measure consistently
Start from a realistic daily energy target and count carbohydrate consistently from the same food-label or tracking system.
Carbohydrate and fiber allocation
Translate calorie share into grams, ranges and meal structure.
Convert a calorie target into carbohydrate grams, compare the selected share with the adult AMDR and 130 g RDA reference, and calculate fiber, sugar-reference and per-meal scenarios.

Method and interpretation guide
Use the carbohydrate result as a transparent estimate
Start from a realistic daily energy target and count carbohydrate consistently from the same food-label or tracking system. The worksheet exposes its assumptions so the result can be checked instead of accepted as a black box.
Read the assumptions
The adult AMDR is 45–65% of energy and the adult RDA reference is 130 g/day. Therapeutic diets can intentionally differ and should be professionally supervised when medically relevant.
Escalate important decisions
A calculator cannot examine symptoms, medical history, medication effects or measurement quality. Use qualified professional guidance when the decision has health consequences.

False precision
Extra decimal places do not remove biological variation, input error or limits in the underlying population equation.
