glucides


Explanation:
In a medical context, this is what you should use. See below for reference:

Votre alimentation doit respecter certaines proportions
* Les glucides doivent représenter 55% de votre apport énergétique. Mangez des pâtes, du riz, des pommes de terre, du pain et des céréales. Vous pouvez également consommer des légumes secs mais évitez avant les efforts physiques car ils sont souvent difficiles à digérer, mis à part les lentilles. Vous pouvez également manger des aliments sucrés tels que les boissons sucrées, le miel, la confiture

hydrates of carbon / hydrocarbons


Explanation:
Never heard with 'de' instead of 'of' in English. `Hydrocarbons' is perhaps the commoner term. So: `Large amounts/quantities of hydrocarbon(s).
