The Acceptable Macronutrient Distribution Ranges (AMDRs) recommend that 20 to 30 percent of energy should come from lipids. Given that the caloric requirement per day is approximately 2,000 kcal, how many energy kilocalories should maximally come from dietary lipids each day?

600 kcal

Explanation:

AMDR or Acceptable Macronutrient Distirbution Ranges provides consumption range for each macronutrient which are proteins, fats and carbohydrates. The range is in form of percentage of daily calories which should come from the particular macronutrient.

AMDR for fats or lipids is 20-30%. It means that 20-30% of daily calorie intake should come from lipids. If the caloric requirement per day is 2000 kcal, maximum 30% of it should come from lipids:

0.3*2000 = 600 kcal.
