However, the amount of carbohydrate is also important to a person with diabetes or anyone trying to lose weight. The typical overweight woman should eat 1200 to 1500 Calories a day. Men trying to control diabetes or lose weight would want 1800 to 2000 Calories per day. This translates to 75 to 83 grams carbohydrate per meal for men or 225 to 250 grams total per day. A piece of bread usually has about 15 grams.
Diabetics can really get into trouble with juice.
Just 4 oz. or a half a cup has 15 grams. Many people who visit me drink up to a quart or more each day. Start reading those labels. Even if you don't have diabetes, the extra calories can add up.
