Question

you’re an average, moderately active adult female. Therefore, you should consume approximately ______ calories and 60 grams of fat.

Answer 1

If we know that the female consumes about 60 g of fat, and the fat intake is supposed to be 20-30% of the total calorie intake: 

Let us assume the fat intake is 25% of the total calorie intake.

We must find a number that: 
a) 25% of the number
b) divided by 9, since each gram of fat is 9 calories.  
c) must equal to about 60 g. 

That number is 2150 calories total. 

Answer 2

Answer:

The given blank can be filled with 2000-2300 calories.

Explanation:

The total number of calories needed by an individual each day changes on the basis of the number of factors, comprising the age, weight, sex, and the level of physical activity. The estimated range of calories required in the case of adult women comes between 1600-2400 calories in a day.  

Moderately active signifies a lifestyle, which comprises physical activity equal to walking approximately 1.5 to 3 miles in a day at three to four miles in an hour, apart from the activities of independent living. In the case of a moderately active adult female, the number of calories required comes in the range between 2000 to 2300 calories, according to the estimates based on the EER or Estimated Energy Requirements.
