Carbohydrate = 240 gms x 4 = 960 cal Protein = 132 x 4 = 528 cal Fat = 220 x 9 = 1980 cal

Total : 960+528+1980 = 3468 calories

Answer:

[tex]3468[/tex] calories

Explanation:

As we know

[tex]1[/tex] gram of carbohydrate has [tex]4[/tex] gram of calories

[tex]1[/tex] gram of fat has [tex]9[/tex] gram of calories

[tex]1[/tex] gram of protein has [tex]4[/tex] gram of calories

Thus ,

Total calories in [tex]240[/tex]grams of carbohydrate

[tex]240*4\\= 960[/tex]

Total calories in [tex]220[/tex]grams of fats

[tex]220*9\\= 1980[/tex]

Total calories in [tex]132[/tex]grams of proteins

[tex]132*4\\=528 [/tex]

Hence, total calories in Marci's Caloric intake

[tex]= 960+1980+528\\= 3468[/tex]
