Understanding the Acceptable Macronutrient Distribution Range Flashcards
What is the Acceptable Macronutrient Daily Range (AMDR) for protein intake per day?
10-35%
If a person has a recommended calorie intake of 3,450 calories per day, what would be their recommended AMDR be for calories coming from protein be?
3450 x .10 = 345
3450 x .35 = 1207
345-1207 calories
If an individual intakes 75 grams of protein with a total calorie intake of 2,250 calories, what percentage of this individuals intake is coming from calories of protein?
75 x 4 (cal per gram in protein) = 300 calories
300/2,250 = 13.3% of this person’s intake comes from protein
What is the Acceptable Macronutrient Daily Range (AMDR) for carbohydrate intake per day?
45-65%
If a person has a recommended calorie intake of 2,450 calories per day, what would be their recommended AMDR be for calories coming from carbohydrates be?
2,450 x .45 = 1102 calories
2.450 x .65 = 1592 calories
1102-1592 calories
If an individual intakes 300 grams of carbohydrates with a total calorie intake of 3,555 calories, what percentage of this individuals intake is coming from calories of carbohydrates?
300 x 4 (calories per gram in carbohydrates) = 1200 calories
1200/3555 = 33.7% of this person’s intake comes from carbohydrates
What is the Acceptable Macronutrient Daily Range (AMDR) for lipid intake per day?
20-35%
If a person has a recommended calorie intake of 1,950 calories per day, what would be their recommended AMDR be for calories coming from lipids be?
1,950 x .20 = 390 calories
1,950 x .35 = 682 calories
390-682 calories from lipids
if an individual intakes 75 grams of lipids with a total calorie intake of 2,750 calories, what percentage of this individuals intake is coming from calories of lipids?
75 x 9 = 675 calories
675/2750 = 24.5% of this person’s intake comes from lipids
What is the daily recommended range (AMDR) for alcohol intake per day?
0
If an individual intakes 3 “standard” drinks in the United States at 14 grams each (this is an average) of alcohol, with a total intake of 2,300 calories, what percentage of this individuals intake is coming from calories of alcohol?
14 x 3 (# of drinks) = 42 grams
42 x 7 (calories per gram in alcohol) = 294 calories from alcohol
294/2,500 = 12.7% of this person’s intake is coming from alcohol
How many calories per gram come from lipids, carbohydrates, protein and alcohol? (in the order given)
9,4,4,7
Using the percentages given on the slides for an individual on the Keto Diet, determine the following if the person were on a 3,000 calorie per day diet.
A. How many calories and grams should come from carbohydrate intake?
B. How many calories and grams should come from protein?
C. How many calories and grams should come from lipids?
A. 150 calories/4 = 38 grams (5%)
B. 900 calories/4 = 225 grams (30%)
C. 1950 calories/9 = 217 grams (65%)
Using the percentages given on the slides for an individual on the Zone diet, determine the following if the person were on a 2,750 calorie per day diet.
A. How many calories and grams should come from carbohydrate intake?
B. How many calories and grams should come from protein?
C. How many calories and grams should come from lipids?
A. 1,100 calories or 275 grams should come from carbohydrates.
B. 825 calories or 206 grams should come from protein.
C. 825 calories or 92 grams should come from lipids.
Answer the following questions using the percentages given on the slides for an individual that would like to maintain their weight on a 1,250 calorie per day diet.
A. How many calories and grams should come from carbohydrate intake?
B. How many calories and grams should come from protein?
C. How many calories and grams should come from lipids?
A. 438-688 calories or 110-172 grams should come from carbohydrate intake.
B. 313-500 calories or 78-125 grams should come from protein.
C. 313-500 calories or 35-56 grams should come from lipids.
