Question

an athlete who consumes 2500 kcal/day should consume how many grams of fat daily?
multiple choice
125 - 219 grams of fat per day
56 - 97 grams of fat per day
20 - 35 grams of fat per day
97 - 125 grams of fat per day

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate the lower limit

The lower limit of fat intake is \(20\%\) of total calories.

$$ \frac{2500\times0.2}{9}\approx56 $$

Step2: Calculate the upper limit

The upper limit of fat intake is \(35\%\) of total calories.

$$ \frac{2500\times0.35}{9}\approx97 $$

Answer:

56–97 grams of fat per day
