Question 2 • Sports Medicine 1a

Georgia has analyzed her macronutrient consumption for one week. She consumed 30% carbohydrates, 30% protein, and 40% fat. According to AMDR, what needs to be altered in Georgia’s eating habits?

Answer
A
Nothing; everything is within an acceptable range.
B
She needs to consume more carbohydrates and less fat.
C
She needs to consume more protein and fewer carbohydrates.
D
She needs to consume more fat and less protein.

Explanation

The Acceptable Macronutrient Distribution Range (AMDR) is 45–65% of calories from carbohydrates, 10–35% from protein, and 20–35% from fat. Georgia’s protein intake of 30% is within range, but her carbohydrates at 30% are too low and fat at 40% is too high. She needs to consume more carbohydrates and less fat, so the correct choice is B.
