Final answer:
The AMDR for fat is 20% to 35% of total daily calories. For Chase, consuming 65 grams of fat on a 2000 calorie diet equates to 591.5 calories from fat, which is 29.575% of his total calorie intake. This value is within the recommended range.
Step-by-step explanation:
The Adequate Macronutrient Distribution Range (AMDR) for fat in a healthy diet is generally considered to be between 20% to 35% of total daily calories. Using the provided information to calculate the percentage of calories from fat, we can use the formula:
Calories from fat = Grams of fat × Calories per gram of fat
Thus, if Chase is consuming 65 grams of fat on a 2000 calorie diet, the number of calories from fat would be:
Calories from fat = 65 g × 9.1 Calories/g = 591.5 Calories
To find the percentage of calories from fat, we divide the calories from fat by the total number of calories and multiply by 100:
Percentage of calories from fat = (591.5 Calories / 2000 Calories) × 100 = 29.575%,
which falls within the AMDR for fat.
The AMDR for fat according to the Dietary Guidelines is 20-35% of total daily calories. For a 22-year-old college student like Chase, the recommended range would be 20-35% of his daily caloric intake. Since the question doesn't provide the daily caloric intake of Chase, we cannot calculate the exact value. However, we can say that for a 2000 calorie diet, the recommended amount of fat would be around 44-77 grams.
