A client consumes 2,200 kcal/day. Their food diary shows 80 g total fat and 28 g saturated fat. Analyze whether these values fall within recommended ranges and explain your reasoning briefly.

• A. Both are unacceptable because the AMDR requires fat intake to be less than 25% for heart health, regardless of calorie intake or grams.
• B. Total fat is too high because 80 g always exceeds recommended grams for any adult; saturated fat is acceptable because 28 g is below 30 g threshold used for most guidelines.
• C. Both total and saturated fat are within safe ranges because only trans fat content matters for cardiovascular risk, not saturated fat percentages.
• D. Total fat: 80 g × 9 = 720 kcal → 720/2200 = 32.7% (within 20–35%); Saturated fat: 28 g × 9 = 252 kcal → 252/2200 = 11.5% (exceeds <10% recommendation). So total fat is acceptable but saturated fat is too high.

Answer: (D)
