Q: A person consumes 60 grams of carbohydrate, 20 grams of protein, and 10 grams of fat in a meal. Calculate the total energy intake in kilocalories ($$kcal) $$for this meal. Use the following values: carbohydrate = $$4~kcal/g$$, protein = $$4~kcal/g$$, fat = $$9~kcal/g.$$

$$60 \times 4 + 20 \times 4 + 10 \times 9 = 240 + 80 + 90 = 410~kcal$$

Q: A nutrition label states that a food contains 8 grams of fat, 12 grams of carbohydrate, and 5 grams of protein per serving. What percentage of the total energy comes from fat? (Use: fat = $$9~kcal/g$$, carbohydrate = $$4~kcal/g$$, protein = $$4~kcal/g)$$

$$\frac{8 \times 9}{8 \times 9 + 12 \times 4 + 5 \times 4} \times 100 = \frac{72}{72 + 48 + 20} \times 100 = \frac{72}{140} \times 100 \approx 51.4\%$$

A nutrition label states that a food contains 8 grams of fat, 12 grams of carbohydrate, and 5 grams of protein per serving. What percentage of the total energy comes from fat? (Use: fat = $$9~kcal/g$$, carbohydrate = $$4~kcal/g$$, protein = $$4~kcal/g)$$

Accepted Answer

$$\frac{8 	imes 9}{8 	imes 9 + 12 	imes 4 + 5 	imes 4} 	imes 100 = \frac{72}{72 + 48 + 20} 	imes 100 = \frac{72}{140} 	imes 100 \approx 51.4\%$$
