Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to AMDR (Acceptable Macronutrient Distribution Ranges), protein intake should be between 10-35% of daily calorie intake. 
Thus, for Katrina's daily calorie intake of 1800 kcal, her range of protein intake would be between 180 to 630 kcal/day, or 45 to 157.5 grams/day (providing 4 kcal/gram of protein). Choice C falls within this range. Choice A (450 to 900 kcal/day) and choice D (720 to 1080 kcal/day) are too high for Katrina's daily calorie intake. Choice B (90 to 360 kcal/day) is too low.
