Note. % Dietary Reference Intake (DRI) for protein refers to the % Recommended Dietary Allowance for protein (0.8 g/kg body weight/day) using the standard male weight of 200 lb (90.9 kg) and standard female weight of 169 lb (76.8 kg). M represents male and F represents female. % DRI for carbohydrate refers to the % Recommended Dietary Allowance for carbohydrate (130 g/day). There is no established DRI for total fats, saturated fats, or added sugars. AMDR % is the percentage of daily calories derived from each macronutrient, using a 2000 kcal dietary standard. The AMDR recommendations include: protein (10–35% kcal/day), carbohydrate (45–65% kcal/day), total fat (20–35% kcal/day), saturated fat (< 10% kcal/day) and added sugars (< 10% kcal/day)
