The upper AMDR limit for carbohydrates is 65%, so if you consumed the upper limit as part of a 2,500 kcal diet, you would ingest:

0.65 x 2,500 = 1,625 kcal from carbohydrates

Since 1 gram of carbohydrate provides 4 kcal, the amount of carbohydrate you would ingest is:

1,625 kcal ÷ 4 kcal/gram = 406.25 grams

Rounded to the nearest whole number, this is approximately 400 grams. Therefore, the best choice is C.
