Question

Given a daily intake of 1,820 kcal composed of 250 g carbohydrate, 70 g protein, and 60 g fat, calculate whether the fat intake meets the AMDR (20–35%). Show calculations.

Accepted Answer

Approximately 29.7% of energy from fat; within the AMDR (20–35%).

Answer

Approximately 50% of energy from fat; well above the AMDR and needs reduction to ≤35%.

Answer

Exactly 35% of energy from fat which is the maximum acceptable and therefore marginally acceptable for long-term health.

Answer

Approximately 15% of energy from fat; below the AMDR and risks poor absorption of fat-soluble vitamins for everyone.
