Carbohydrates In this analysis, I
only consumed
175g of
carbohydraqtes in
comparison to the
recommended
272g.
Carbohydrates are what our
bodies use as fuel. If I do not
consume enough, my body
will be forced to use other
sources of fuel like proteins. It
may also make me feel weak
or lacking energy.
Most of my calories
already come from
carbohydrates, since I
consume a plant
based diet. I think to
increase my count to
a recommended value
I need to eat more
food. It would be wise
to focus on increasing
whole grains, since
they will be dense in
carbohydrates.
Sugar I consumed 71g of
sugar, almost none
of it from added
sugar. I surpass
the daily
recommended
servings of fruits,
which is where the
sugar mostly
comes from.
