Question

Sam is following an eating plan in which he consumes 2,000 calories per day with his calories distributed using the Acceptable Macronutrient Distribution Range (AMDR). Based on this information, how many of Sam's calories each day come from fat?

Answer 1

400 to 700 calories per day

Step-by-step explanation:

Acceptable Macronutrient Distribution Ranges for Adults (as a percentage of Calories) are as follows:

Protein: 10-35%

Fat: 20-35%

Carbohydrate: 45-65%

The AMDR is the range associated with reduced risk for chronic diseases, while providing essential nutrients like vitamins and minerals. People whose diet is outside the AMDR have the potential of increasing their risk of developing a disease of nutritional deficiency.

Since we are suppose to know how many of Sam's calories come from fat each day

Which is 20%-35%

20%of 2000 calories is 400 calories

35% of 2000 calories is 700 calories
