Liz is a dance major. She participates in two 90-minute dance classes each day on five days a week, plus does a 60-minute strength-training workout during her lunch break twice a week. She is a vegetarian, and her current energy intake is 1,800 kcal per day. She weighs 105 lb. After referring to Table 6.2 (Chapter 6, page 230) Liz estimates her protein intake should be 1.5 g per kg body weight, and she wants to keep her fat intake relatively low at 20% of her total daily energy intake. Based on this information, calculate how many grams of protein, fat, and carbohydrate Liz needs to consume daily to support this activity program. Does Liz’s carbohydrate intake fall within the AMDR, which is 45% to 65% of total energy intake?
