According to the Acceptable Macronutrient Distribution Ranges (AMDRs), protein should comprise what percentage of daily kilocalories?

10 to 35 percent of daily kilocalories

AMDRs are expressed as a lower and upper percentage of a person's total kilocalorie needs. To calculate the AMDR for a specific macronutrient, each end of the appropriate AMDR range should be multiplied by the person's kilocalorie needs. See the Calculation Corner in your book for an example. Joe needs 2800 kcal daily to maintain energy balance. How many of those calories should come from carbohydrates, according to the AMDR?

1260-1820 kcal
