Detailed explanation-1: -The Acceptable Macronutrient Distribution Range (AMDR) (10–35% of calories as protein) was developed to express dietary recommendations in the context of a complete diet. It is noteworthy that the lowest level of protein intake reflected in the AMDR is higher than that of the RDA.
Detailed explanation-2: -The IOM calculated an acceptable macronutrient distribution range for carbohydrate (45%-65% of energy), protein (10%-35% of energy), and fat (20%-35% of energy; limit saturated and trans fats).
Detailed explanation-3: -AMDR Range By comparison, the AMDR for adults is 10 to 35 percent for protein and 20 to 35 percent for dietary fat. Carbohydrates and protein each provide 4 calories per gram while fat contains 9 calories a gram.
