Question

The Acceptable Macronutrient Distribution Ranges indicate ranges of carbohydrate, fat, and protein intakes that provide adequate amounts of vitamins and minerals and may reduce the risk of diet-related chronic diseases. For a person who is following a 2,500-kilocalorie per day diet, determine the approximate number of grams of each macronutrient to be consumed using the AMDR as a guideline.

Answer 1

Answer:

63-218 grams per day of proteins

56-97 grams per day of lipids

280-400 grams per day of carbohydrates

Explanation:

The Acceptable Macronutrient Distribution Ranges indicate ranges of carbohydrate, fat, and protein combinely will provide 2500 kilocalories per day.

A kilocalorie is the amount of heat energy which is required to raise the temperature of 1 kg of water by 1 degree Celsius.

So, by combining a diet that contains 63-218 grams of protein, 280-400 gram of carbohydrate and 56-97 grams of lipids(fats) will provide enough energy to the body to perform various tasks of the body.
