How Many Carbs You Need To Eat Every Day To Lose Weight

Carbohydrate needs can vary based on factors like age, gender, weight, activity level, and metabolism. There's no one-size-fits-all approach.

Weight loss fundamentally depends on a caloric deficit, meaning you consume fewer calories than your body expends. It's not only about carbs but the overall balance of calories.

Focus on consuming complex carbohydrates like whole grains, fruits, and vegetables, which provide fiber, vitamins, and minerals. Avoid refined carbs and sugars.
