The Next Bite ~ A Food and Fitness Podcast

If you're supposed to eat 45-65% of your daily Calorie intake from Carbohydrates, what does that actually look like when it comes to your food intake? Danye is sharing how she inputs a full day of eating (Carbs specifically) into MyFitnessPal, dietary food tracking app, in order to hit those FDA dietary recommendations for carbs.

Visit Ep 283 of The Next Bite Podcast for more details on what those daily dietary carbohydrate recommendations are and how to calculate them.
