We often hear that carbohydrates are important as our body’s main source of energy. At the same time, we also hear carbohydrates being blamed for causing weight gain. To settle this issue, it is important to know that not all carbohydrates are created equal.
Carbohydrates as major source of energy in the diet comprise around half the total calories and are manufactured mainly by plants. The family of dietary carbohydrate includes simple carbohydrates such as honey and sugars, and complex carbohydrates such as starches and dietary fiber. Simple carbohydrates are quickly absorbed in the small intestine that result to an increase in blood sugar and provide a quick boost of energy. Complex carbohydrates, on the other hand, take longer to break down which means that there is no rapid spike in blood sugar.

Supplying the body’s cells with glucose for energy is the primary role of carbohydrates. Most importantly, the preferred energy source for brain cells, other nerve cells and developing red blood cells is glucose. With this, a person needs to eat dietary carbohydrates to keep providing glucose to meet the body’s energy needs. For Filipinos aged 19 years and above, the recommended intake of carbohydrates is 55% to 75% of the total energy intake. The recommended energy intake of 1,930 kcal for females aged 19 to 29 years old should therefore have 1,060 kcal to 1,450 kcal of carbohydrates, or about 265 to 365 grams. Other information can be checked on The Philippine Dietary Reference Intakes (https://www.fnri.dost.gov.ph/index.php/tools-and-standard/philippine-dietary-reference-intakes-pdri).
