Tomas is a 24-year-old male trying to calculate his protein needs. The Food and Nutrition Board recommends that 10% to 35% of calories come from protein. If Tomas follows a 2,300-kcal diet, how many grams of protein per day should he be consuming?

58-201 gram

Explanation:

According to the Food and Nutrition Board  10% to 35% of calories should come from protein from the diet per day. Thomas take 2,300 Kcal per day therefore 10% of 2,300 is 230 kcal and 35% is 805 kcal.

As 4 kcal is provided by one gram of protein so 230 grams of protein will be provided by approx 58 grams of protein(239/4 = 57.5) and 805 kcal will be provided by 201 grams of protein.

Therefore Tomas should consume between 58-201 grams of protein per day.
