carb intake
Dietary sugar amount
Carb intake is the amount of carbohydrates consumed in one's diet, typically measured in grams per day.
The phrase appears constantly in nutrition and fitness contexts, where people track or limit carbs for weight loss or blood sugar management: I'm keeping my carb intake under fifty grams.
Low-carb and keto diets have made the term ubiquitous.
