Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Fat provides about 9 kcal per gram. Maria's fat intake of 90 g/day would thus provide about 810 kcal, which is 40.5% of her total caloric intake (810 kcal from fat / 2000 total kcal/day * 100). The Acceptable Macronutrient Distribution Range (AMDR) for fat is 20-35% of total daily calories. Maria's fat intake exceeds this range, indicating her fat intake is higher than the AMDR.
