Question

Calculate the percent of energy from fat for a 2,200 kcal/day diet that includes 100 grams of fat. Indicate if the diet is within the AMDR and explain.

Accepted Answer

Approximately 40.9% of energy from fat; this exceeds the AMDR (not within 20–35%).

Answer

Approximately 18% of energy from fat which is slightly below the AMDR and will impair digestion of fat-soluble vitamins in all situations.

Answer

Approximately 50% of energy from fat, which is the recommended target for maximizing vitamin absorption in the absence of other health concerns.
