C

D

Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Recommended Allowance In general, it’s recommended that 10-35% of your daily calories come from protein. Protein has 4 calories/gram. Based on a 2, 000 calorie/day diet, this amounts to 200 – 700 calories per day, or about 50-175 grams a day.

Detailed explanation-2: -Anywhere from 10% to 35% of your calories should come from protein. So if your needs are 2, 000 calories, that’s 200–700 calories from protein, or 50–175 grams.

Detailed explanation-3: -By consuming 10 g of protein, a person will get (10*4) calories, that is, 40 calories.

Detailed explanation-4: -The Institute of Medicine and the American Heart Association recommend a total fat intake of 25-35 percent of calories. That’s about 80 grams of fat or less a day if you eat 2, 000 calories a day.

Detailed explanation-5: -According to the Dietary Reference Intake report for macronutrients, a sedentary adult should consume 0.8 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight, or 0.36 grams per pound. That means that the average sedentary man should eat about 56 grams of protein per day, and the average woman should eat about 46 grams.
