Calculate the recommended AMDR range in grams of protein for an adult consuming 2200 kcal/day. Show your work and state whether a daily intake of 200 g protein would fall within the AMDR.

• A. 75 g to 150 g per day; 200 g/day would exceed the upper value and thus be considered excessive unless under clinical supervision.
• B. 110 g to 385 g per day; 200 g/day would be within this range and appropriate for active individuals and older adults focusing on muscle preservation.
• C. 22 g to 77 g per day; 200 g/day is far above this range and indicates severe overconsumption of protein relative to energy needs.
• D. 55 g to 193 g per day; 200 g/day is above the AMDR and exceeds the upper limit.
