The National Academy of Sciences has established the Acceptable Macronutrient Distribution Range (AMDR), which are dietary guidelines regarding the acceptable range of certain nutrients (such as fat, carbohydrates and protein) in our everyday diet. According to the AMDR, 45-65% of our everyday calorie intake should come from carbohydrates. Therefore, 1125 [(2500*45)/100] to 1625 [(2500*65)/100] kilocalories should come from carbohydrates.
