Question

if you are having trouble finding this information, click here to see a sample bar graph report. click here to see a sample calculation. you must type your data (numbers only, no commas) into the blank spaces for questions a, b, and c before you respond to questions d, e and f. responses to questions e and f will appear after you have entered your data from the bar graph report. be sure to use your data, not the data from the sample report. a. enter your protein intake 14.20 grams of protein b. multiply grams of protein by 4 kcal/gram 307.00 kcal from protein c. enter your total calorie intake 540 total kcal note: remember that calorie (with a capital c) = kilocalorie. d. what is the acceptable macronutrient distribution range (amdr) for protein for adults? 10% to 35% of total kcal 20% to 35% of total kcal 40% to 65% of total kcal e. what percentage of your total kilocalories came from protein? 3% 11% 18% 24% f. was your actual protein intake (as a percentage of total kcal) within the acceptable macronutrient distribution range for protein? no yes

Explanation:

Step1: Recall AMDR for protein

The Acceptable Macronutrient Distribution Range (AMDR) for protein for adults is 10% - 35% of total kcal.

Step2: Calculate percentage of protein kcal in total kcal

We know protein intake is 14.20 grams and each gram of protein has 4 kcal, so protein - kcal is $14.20\times4 = 56.8$ kcal. Total kcal is 540 kcal. The percentage of protein kcal in total kcal is $\frac{56.8}{540}\times100\approx 10.52\%$.

Step3: Answer multiple - choice questions

d. The AMDR for protein for adults is 10% to 35% of total kcal. So the answer for d is: 10% to 35% of total kcal.
e. $\frac{14.20\times4}{540}\times100\approx10.52\%$, which is closest to 11%. So the answer for e is: 11%.
f. Since 10.52% is within the 10% - 35% AMDR range, the answer for f is: YES.

Answer:

d. 10% to 35% of total kcal
e. 11%
f. YES
