They are broken down into glucose, which is used as fuel by the cells, tissues, and organs. Carbohydrates also provide stored energy in the form of glycogen, which is mainly found in the liver and muscle.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>Carbohydrates prevent protein from being used as energy and enable fat metabolism. They are an important source of energy and fuel the processes in your body. Carbohydrates are broken down by the body into glucose, which can be absorbed into the bloodstream. Once absorbed, glucose molecules travel in the blood to the body\u2019s cells where they are used for respiration.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>Consuming too many carbohydrates can cause various health problems such as obesity, diabetes, heart disease, inflammation, and mood swings. The recommended daily amount of carbs for the average adult is between 45% and 65% of the total calorie intake.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>It is important to note that the <strong>quality of carbohydrates are more important than the quantity<\/strong>. It is better to choose whole foods like non-starchy vegetables, fruits, legumes, and whole-grains over processed foods, breads, and sugary foods.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>We recommend you use a Carbohydrate Calculator to calculate the amount of Net Carbs in your food; carbohydrates that are completely broken down and absorbed by your body.
