Alice is a 55 year old female. She is relatively active and feels that she eats a quality diet. She is interested to determine if her macronutrients fall within the recommended AMDR ranges. She tracked her intake for a day for carbohydrates, fats, and proteins in grams for a day. She provides the following intake data: Carbohydrates: 300 grams, Fats: 45 grams, Proteins: 65 grams Calculate what percentage of Alice's total energy intake came from proteins
