The Carbohydrate Math poster is an engaging visual tool that teaches people how to choose carbohydrates wisely for energy, health, and longevity.
It highlights that carbs come from fruits, vegetables, whole grains, beans, and dairy, and explains the difference between nutrient-rich whole foods and heavily refined options like white bread, pastries, and sugary drinks.
The poster shows how to build a balanced plate where three-quarters is filled with whole-food carbohydrates—colorful produce and hearty grains—providing essential vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and the fiber most adults need (about 25–38 grams per day).
The poster illustrates the difference between whole and refined foods and describes how excess refined carbs can spike blood sugar, increase inflammation, and contribute to weight gain and heart disease.
With simple portion formulas, fiber goals, and colorful examples of everyday meals, this poster empowers people to enjoy carbohydrates confidently and in their most health-supportive form.
It has a simple flow that logically moves from whole to refined, explaining the benefits of making better choices.
