Yesterday Shannon consumed 250 grams of carbohydrate, 75 grams of protein, and 60 grams of fat. What percentage of calories of her day's intake came from fat

Respuesta :

Calories percentage in fat

Explanation:

  • The number of calories gained when eating different types of food differs. Some food types are more fattening relative to other types.
  • The number of calories consumed when eating carbohydrates - 4 calories/ gram * 250 g  = 1000 calories
  • Calories gained eating proteins -4 calories/gram * 75 g  = 300 calories  
  • Calories gained eating fats- 9 calories/ gram * 60 g = 540 calories
  • Total amount of calories consumed = 1000 + 300 + 540 = 1840 calories
  • Percentage of calories coming from fats = 540/1840 *100% = 29.3 %
  • Hence, the right answer is " 29.3% of calories of her day's intake came from fat"
