Question

For a sedentary adult requiring 2000 kcal/day, calculate the protein gram range corresponding to the AMDR. Then determine whether a daily intake of 45 g protein meets the lower bound (show calculations).

Accepted Answer

50 g to 175 g per day; 45 g/day is below the lower bound of the AMDR.

Answer

80 g to 240 g per day; 45 g/day is insufficient by this higher standard.

Answer

None of the above because protein cannot be expressed as grams from calories.

Answer

20 g to 70 g per day; 45 g/day is within this very low recommended range.
