<em>AMDR lists range of nutrient intakes from different food categories and a widely used list by nutritionists as this list has been approved and reviewed by scientific authorities across the globe. It was originally issued by </em><u><em>The Food and Nutrition Board of the Institutes of Medicine. </em></u>

<u><em>Here's the guidelines:</em></u>
- Carbohydrate (45%-65% of energy),
- Protein (10%-35% of energy)

The information about guidelines was derived from the Pubmed article <u><em>"Exercise and the Institute of Medicine recommendations for nutrition"</em></u> which you can view on PubMed. I cannot include the link as the post might get deleted for containing links.
