Assume Deb eats three 150-gram bags of potato chips each day. Use the USDA food database to calculate Deb’s calorie consumption and the number of grams of protein, carbohydrates (by difference), and the total fat that she eats. You may use any brand of potato chips in the database, but state the brand in your answer.

Respuesta :

Let’s consider that she eats Herr’s Baked Ripple Cut Potato Chips. If she ate a total of 450 grams of these potato chips every day, she will consume about 1,930 calories, 32.13 grams of total fat, 32.13 grams of protein, and 353.36 grams of carbohydrates.


From the USDA food database, we have;

Potato chips, regular, salted

[tex]\begin{array}{|c|c|c|c|c|c}Weight \ (g)&Calories \ (kcal)&Protein \ (g)&Carbohydrate \ (g)&Total \ Fat \ (g)\\28&152&2&15&10\end{array}\right][/tex]

Therefore, in the 150 gram, we have;

Deb's consumption calculated as follows;

Calories (kcal) = (150/28) × 152 × 3 ≈ 2,442.9 kcal

Protein (g) = (150/28) × 3  × 2 g ≈ 32.1 g

Carbohydrate (g) = (150/28)  × 3 × 15 g = 241.1g

Total fat (g) = (150/28) × 10 g = 160.7 g

Therefore;

Deb's calorie consumption is approximately 2,442.9 kcal

Her protein consumption is approximately 32.1 g

Her carbohydrate consumption is approximately 241.1 g

Her total fat consumption is approximately 160.7 g
