Question
question 25 which of the following acceptable macronutrient distribution ranges is appropriate for a child? 30%–40% of calories from carbohydrates 45%–65% of calories from carbohydrates 65%–75% of calories from carbohydrates 25%–35% of calories from carbohydrates
The Acceptable Macronutrient Distribution Range (AMDR) for carbohydrates in children (and generally for the general population including children) is 45%–65% of total calories. This range provides sufficient energy from carbohydrates for growth, activity, and metabolic needs while allowing for appropriate intake of other macronutrients (fats, proteins). The other ranges are either too low (limiting energy from carbs) or too high (displacing other nutrients) for a child's nutritional requirements.
