Carbohydrates

Carbohydrates are sugar molecules that are broken down down into glucose, which is the main source of energy for cells, tissues, and organs. On average, people should get 45 to 65% of their daily calories from carbohydrates, based on a 2,000-calorie diet. There are three main types of carbohydrates: sugars, starches, and fiber.
