Question

If a person consumed the upper amdr limit for protein as part of a diet providing 2500 kcalories, approximately how many grams of protein would be ingested?

Answer 1

The upper AMDR limit for protein consumption is 35% of total energy intake. In other words, if you consume 2500 kcalories throughout the day, then at most 35 percent of those calories must come from proteins such as meats, beans, seafood, and eggs. We have that 35 percent of 2500 kcalories is 875, so the upper limit on how much protein this person should consume is 875 kcalories.
