To determine the number of grams of carbohydrates Anna should consume daily based on her doctor's recommendation, follow these steps:
1. Determine the total daily calorie intake: The average recommended daily calorie intake is 2,000 calories.
2. Calculate the percentage of calories from carbohydrates: Anna's doctor recommends that 60% of her daily calories come from carbohydrates.
3. Calculate the total number of calories from carbohydrates:
[tex]\[
\text{Total calories from carbohydrates} = 2,000 \text{ calories} \times 0.60 = 1,200 \text{ calories}
\][/tex]
4. Find the calories provided by one gram of carbohydrate: One gram of carbohydrate provides 4 calories.
5. Calculate the grams of carbohydrates needed:
[tex]\[
\text{Grams of carbohydrates needed per day} = \frac{\text{Total calories from carbohydrates}}{\text{Calories per gram of carbohydrate}} = \frac{1,200 \text{ calories}}{4 \text{ calories/gram}} = 300 \text{ grams}
\][/tex]
Therefore, Anna should consume 300 grams of carbohydrates daily.
