During periods of high-volume hypertrophy or work capacity training, up to 2.5 g of carbs per pound of bodyweight per day might be needed. In contrast, for strength, power, and speed work phases, most athletes can meet their minimum needs with about 1.0 g of carbs per pound of bodyweight per day. In the context of the average sport diet and the average western diet, this is quite a low number, but it makes sense for many strength and power sports.

While heavily dependent on differences in training volumes and daily activity levels, an average intake of 1.5 g of carbs per pound of bodyweight per day is a good rough start for a strength or power athlete. This baseline intake can be modified from between 1.0 to 2.5 g per pound per day based on activity levels and training types.
