Question

Assume a person consumed 3500 calories for one day, and the breakdown of nutrients are as follows: 50% of calories from carbohydrates, 20% of calories from protein and 30% of calories from fat. What are the total calories from carbohydrate for the entire day? 1925 kcal 2200 kcal 2395 kcal 1750 kcal 1950 kcal Question 29 1 pts Assume a person consumed 3500 calories for one day, and the breakdown of nutrients are as follows: 50% of calories from carbohydrates, 20% of calories from protein and 30% of calories from fat. What are the total grams from carbohydrate for the entire day? 381 grams 438 grams 481 grams 544 grams 405 grams

Answer 1

28. Total consummated calories for one day is 3500 calories. In which, 50% is from Carbohydrate. So number of calories from Carbohydrate can be calculated as:

= (50 x 3500)/100

= 175000/100

= 1750 kcal

Answer is: 1750 kcal

29. Carbohydrate provides 4 kcal per gram, so the total calorie from the consumed Carbohydrate can be calculated as

= (50 x 3500)/100

= 175000/100

= 1750 kcal

And since 1 gram Carbohydrate = 4 kcal

So for 1750 kcal = 1750/4 gram

= 437.5 g

or approx 438 gram of Carbohydrate produces 1750 kcal.

So answer is 438 grams of carbohydrate
