Children should get about 45% to 65% of their daily calories from carbohydrates. This range is recommended to provide sufficient energy and nutrition when the carbohydrates come from high-quality sources such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and dairy products
. The exact percentage within this range may vary depending on the child's age, activity level, and overall calorie needs, but aiming for roughly half of their energy intake from carbohydrates is a good guideline
