AMDR for fat is _____ to _____%

• A. 15% to 30%
• B. 25% to 45%
• C. 30% to 50%
• D. 20% to 35%

Answer: (D)

Fat should make up 20 to 35 percent of daily calories. This range provides enough energy and essential fatty acids for the body while helping limit total fat intake to reduce the risk of excess calories and related conditions. It also supports absorption of fat-soluble vitamins. For example, on a 2,000 kcal day, 20–35% from fat equals about 400–700 kcal, which is roughly 44–78 grams of fat. The other options fall outside this range: some are too low on the upper end, others exceed the recommended upper limit, so they don’t align with the established guidance.
