An individual with an energy allowance of 1,800 kilocalories who consumes ________ grams of fat per day falls within the current AMDR recommendation for dietary fat intake.

A "Healthy Fat Intake" is essential for the body to function well. Fat is a macronutrient, thus, just like water and carbohydrates, it is needed by the body in large amounts in order to provide energy. However, taking in too much fat can actually be harmful to the body, this is the reason why "The Acceptable Macronutrient Distribution Range" (AMDR) was established in order to guide people regarding the dietary recommendations for their health.

According to the "current AMDR guideline for 2020, a person's total fat consumption per day should be within the range of 25%-35% of their dietary intake.

In the case above, the individual's dietary intake/ energy allowance is 1,800 kcal. So, 25% of 1,800 kcal is 450 kcal, while the 35% of 1,800 kcal is 630 kcal.

Remember that there are 9 calories in 1 gram of fat. So, you can divided 450 kcal by 9 and 630 kcal by 9. So, you get 50 grams and 70 grams, respectively.

This means that the person should only consume fat within the 50-70 grams range, if his energy allowance is 1,800 kilocalories.
