The answer is 218.75

Upper limit for protein based on AMDR is 35% of the daily calorie needs. If the person calorie need is 2500 kcalories, the amount of calorie from protein would be: 2500kcal * 35%=875kcal.

Each gram of protein equal to 4kcal energy. The amount of protein in grams would be: 875kcal / (4kcal/g) = 218.75g
