Explanation:

Question 5

The Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) for protein for adult men (non - athletic) is 56 grams per day, and 46 grams is for adult women. But among the given options, 59 grams is close to the RDA for men (maybe due to some rounding or specific context of the question). So the minimum amount of protein Derek (assuming male) should consume daily based on normal RDA is 59 grams.

The AMDR for carbohydrate is 45 - 65% of calories, for protein is 10 - 35% of calories, and for fat is 20 - 30% of calories. Usually, if fat intake as a percent of calories exceeds 30%, it is above the AMDR. Without specific intake data, but based on common knowledge and typical question setups, fat is often the macronutrient that can be above the AMDR.

The AMDR for carbohydrate is 45 - 65% of calories. If carbohydrate intake as a percent of calories is below 45%, it is below the AMDR. In many typical dietary scenarios or question setups, carbohydrate can be below the AMDR.

Answer:

B. 59 grams
