Question

im trying to lose weight and i wanna know and also i would like to know the same with some pf the othe nutrion facts(sugar,sodium,fat.) ect

Answer 1

200 grams of carbs is a good number to shoot for.

In terms of other nutrition,

Go for less than 20 grams of saturated fats.

Stay away from trans fats.

Don't go over 100% (its on the nutritonal labels) in terms of cholesterol and sodium.

Shoot for 40 grams tops of total fat and 65 grams of protein.

Be moderate in the foods you eat high in sugars.

Aim for 25-30 grams of fiber daily.

Eat a total of 1500 calories or so.

Combine that info with some cardio exercise and you should drop pounds.

Answer 2

Here's a good way to figure out your ratios: eat as many grams of protein as your lean body mass in pounds. So, if your lean body mass is 130 lbs, you would eat 130 grams of protein.
For fat, do about .5 grams for lbm, body weight or even goal weight.
Fill in the rest with carbs.
Divide over 5-6 meals throughout the day.
Do watch your sodium, but I have no idea about an exact maxiumum. As for sugar, just try to eat natural/whole foods vs. processed foods, where the sugar will occur naturally. If you look at an item and it has 24g of Carbs and 23 of those grams are sugar, it's probably not the best choice. Aside from fruit, which gets it's sugar in the form of fructose, but even then, the recommended daily allotment for fruit is 2-3 servings.
Try to get most of your carbs from vegetables and whole grains.
If you want to lose weight, you have to make sure your calories are in a deficit of what you're burning every day. You need to figure out what your current total daily energy expenditure (TDEE) is. There are various formulas on the web to help calculate this, mostly taking your basal metabolic weight (bmr) and multiplying it by an "activity factor" depending on how active you are. The average TDEE for men is 2700-2900 calories per day. Subtract about 15-20% from that as a good starting place.

Answer 3

Need not bother as the carbs do not adversely put heavier strain on ur body parts to consume.

Eat only when hungry and not more than thrice a day. Nothing other than water in between. Include plenty of uncooked vegetables and fruits in each meal, preferably 50%. Chew each morsel at least 32 times to activate ur body to generate signals of hunger/fullness. Obey these signals.

Take light exercises and brisk walks regularly preferably twice a day.

U will achieve what u have not even dreamt and that too in a reasonable time. Do not be in a hurry.

Answer 4

Based on a 2,000 calorie intake, you should have 300g of carbs. Sugar is a carb, but you should avoid simple sugars and eat complex carbs such as whole wheat or other grains. Max sodium intake = 2400mg. Max fat intake = 65g. For other recommended daily values check out http://www.fda.gov/fdac/special/foodlabel/dvs.html
