You can use this Carbohydrates Calculator to determine the optimum carbohydrates consumption to accomplish your goals!
It's healthiest to divide your carbohydrate consumption into 5 or 6 meals evenly spaced throughout the day with the total amount being in the range given by the carbs calculator. For more info, check out our carbohydrates and weight gainers pages.
A good way to efficiently raise your carb intake is by drinking energy drinks or eating energy bars. Check out our full listing of Energy Bars for great results..
