Final answer:

Tony's diet needs to have 50-70% of total calories from carbohydrates to comply with AMDR. Without exact figures, a definitive answer can't be given, but if Tony is within this range, his diet complies.

Step-by-step explanation:

The acceptable macronutrient distribution range (AMDR) for carbohydrates, as recommended by nutritional guidelines, is to have 50-70% of total daily calories come from carbohydrates. According to the information provided, you should receive 55% of your daily calories from carbohydrates for a balanced diet (Figure 1.4). If Tony's diet reflects a similar ratio or falls within this range, then it complies with the AMDR for carbohydrates. We do not have specific numbers for Tony's carbohydrate intake as a percent of his total daily calories, but if it is between 50%-70%, then the answer would be 1) Yes, his diet complies with the AMDR for carbohydrates. Without exact figures, a definitive answer cannot be given, but the concept remains that as long as Tony's carbohydrate intake falls within the recommended range of 50-70%, his diet would be compliant.
