Hello doctor, I am seeking experts to comment on low-carb diets. What is the complete macronutrient breakdown for a typical low-carb diet? How much fat should you eat on a low-carb diet? How much protein should you eat on a low-carb diet? We are looking for suggestions on vegan foods for energy. Name the foods you are recommending and set description as to why you are suggesting this food.
Hello. I just read your query. In general, a person requires 1500-2000 calories per day. Carbohydrates, in general, can fulfill approximately 50% of our daily calorie requirements. People should usually take around approximately 200-325 grams of carbs daily. But if someone is aimed at losing weight then they should aim for a low carbohydrate diet. Then people should take around 50 to 150 grams of carbohydrates daily who are adopting a low carb diet. Also, proteins and fats are also important parts of our diet. If someone is on a low carb diet then they should consume 38-130 grams of protein per day, depending on their weight. One can consume between 30-60 grams of fats while on a low carb diet from healthy sources. There are a variety of vegan foods that you can use for energy like spinach, oats, almonds, lentils, fresh fruits, and chia seeds, etc. These foods are easily available and have a variety of nutrients and also easy to eat. So they are recommended for quick energy needs.
