Mr. Jones' diet should include 1125, 1625 kilocalories coming from carbohydrates.
The Acceptable Macronutrient Distribution Range (AMDR) is the range of macronutrients intake set by dietary professionals of the National Academy of Sciences. The application of this range in our everyday diet can help us achieve a balance between a healthy intake of the necessary macronutrients and a reduced risk of developing chronic disease. According to the AMDR, an adult's intake of carbohydrates should be in between 45-65% of total dietary calories. Since Mr. Jones' total daily intake is approximately 2500 kilocalories, the carbohydrates range should be in between 1125 [(2500*45)/100] and 1625 [(2500*65)/100].
