Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Acceptable Macronutrient Distribution Range (AMDR) for protein for adults is 10-35% of total daily calories. For Katrina, consuming 1800 kcal/day, her protein intake range would be 180 kcal/day (10% of 1800) to 630 kcal/day (35% of 1800). Since 1 gram of protein provides 4 kcal, this translates to 45 grams (180/4) to 157.5 grams (630/4) of protein per day.
