Carbohydrate Calculator

Carbohydrates (carbs) are one of three primary macronutrients that provide energy, along with fats and proteins. Carbohydrates are broken down in the body or converted into glucose, and serve as the body's main source of energy.

Carbohydrates are often classified as either simple (monosaccharides and disaccharides) or complex (polysaccharides or oligosaccharides).

Generally, complex carbohydrates have greater nutritional benefits than simple carbohydrates, which are sometimes referred to as "empty carbs."
