Dietary Reference Intakes (DRIs)

Mary is considering following a 2000-calorie diet that includes 600 calories from carbohydrates. Using the AMDR for carbohydrate as a guide to assess the macronutrient composition of this diet, what would you conclude about this diet?

It provides less than the recommended amount of calories from carbohydrate which can impact energy level and overall metabolism

The ___________ provides a guideline for intake limits for those who take supplements or consume large amounts of fortified foods.
