Officially, the Dietary Guidelines suggest carbs make up 45% to 65% of your daily calories. That’s a huge range. On a 2,000-calorie diet, that equals 225 to 325 grams. It’s enough to confuse a calculator.

But here’s a fun, sticky fact: your brain runs exclusively on carbs, specifically glucose. Give it zero carbs, and it starts running on ketones, which is like begging a Formula 1 car to use tap water. It works, but it’s grumpy.

Funny detail: your brain uses about 130 grams of carbs per day just to think about what to eat next. That’s roughly one bagel and a banana. So yes, you need carbs to power your decision of whether to eat more carbs.
