The Acceptable Macronutrient Distribution Ranges (AMDR) recommend that 45-65% of calories come from carbohydrates, 10-35% from protein, and 20-35% from fats. For a 2,000 kcal/day diet, the minimum would be 45% from carbohydrates (900 kcal), 10% from protein (200 kcal), and 20% from fats (400 kcal).
