A 70 kg adolescent male consumes 2600 kcal/day and has 30% of calories from fat. Using 0.8 g/kg protein recommendation, calculate his daily fat grams, protein grams, and the percentage of calories from protein. Choose the correct set.

• A. ≈ 100 g fat; 56 g protein; protein ≈ 12% of energy, assuming fat provides 11 kcal/g during adolescence and protein needs are unchanged.
• B. ≈ 65 g fat; 70 g protein; protein ≈ 10.8% of energy, because protein recommendations for growth require more than 0.8 g/kg.
• C. ≈ 86.7 g fat; 56 g protein; protein ≈ 8.6% of energy.
• D. ≈ 86.7 g fat; 56 g protein; protein ≈ 20% of energy because adolescents should get a fifth of calories from protein during growth spurts.

Answer: (C)
