45-65%: Your carbs should be about 45-65% of your total calories every day. Choose good carbs like fruits, veggies, nuts and beans, and whole grains. Happy eating!

Rash on stomach and legs, possibly diet-related: this week reduced carbs from 25% to 18% of daily calories. Hydrocortisone and an antihistamine helping a bit. In 3rd week of mass-gain 3500+ cal diet.
