Answer to Question 1

Step 1: Figure out how many calories should come from fat based on the AMDRs:
2500 x 0.2 = 500 calories (20) 2500 x 0.35 = 875 calories (35)
Step 2: Divide the number of calories by 9 calories per gram:
500 calories  9 calories/gram = 55.6 grams (20) 875 calories  9 calories/gram = 97.2 grams (35)
For saturated fat: 2500 calories x 0.1 = 250 calories (10 maximum)  9 kilocalories/gram = 27.8 grams
