You have completed a personal diet analysis for your mother. On average, she eats 2,200 kilocalories per day. Since her weight did not significantly change in the last few years, she wants to maintain her kilocalorie intake but wants to make sure she stays within the healthy range with fat consumption. Calculate how many kilocalories in her diet should come from fat. Round up number of kilocalories to the nearest whole number.

Answer:

Per day 440 kilo-calorie (20%) to 770 kilo-calorie (35%) from fat is an acceptable range.

Step-by-step explanation:

For a healthy diet plan, nutrition suggests following macronutrient distribution ranges

  1. 20% to 35% of daily taken calorie from fats.
  2. 45% to 65% of daily taken calorie from carbohydrates.
  3. 10% to 35% of daily taken calorie from proteins.

As she takes 2,200kCal per day, so we have to calculate 20% of 2,200 and 35% of 2,200 for lower and upper limit respectively.

Lower limit of the range:

20% of 2,200

⇒

[tex]\frac{20}{100}* 2200 =440[/tex]

Upper limit of the range:

35% of 2,200

⇒

[tex]\frac{35}{100}* 2200 =770 \\[/tex]
