What percentage of the total calories is provided by the 40 grams CHO? You are advised to consume 60% of your total daily calories in the form of CHO and your total daily calorie intake is 2200 Kcal. How many calories will be in the form of CHO? How many grams of CHO will you need to eat?

A sandwich has a total of 700 kcals and it is composed of 45% CHO, 30% PRO and 25% FAT. How many grams of FAT are contained in the sandwich? What percentage of total calories is provided by the PRO?

Explanation / Answer

Fat: 1 gram = 9 calories
Protein: 1 gram = 4 calories
Carbohydrates: 1 gram = 4 calories

Hence total calories = 160+72+60 = 292 calories

2) Percent of CHO cal =160/292% = 54.79T

-------------------------------------

3) Cho calories= 60% of 2200 = 1320 k cal

4) gams of cho to give 1320 cals =1320/4 = 330 kilogms

= 330,000 gms

-----------------------------

5) Pro provides 20%of 1850 = 370 kcal

6) Fat 25% = 462.5 kcal

-----------------

7) For 560 kcal fat required= 560000/9 = 62222.22 gms

8) For alcohol 1 gm = 7 cal

Hence 385 kcal alcohol, 385000/7 = 55000 gms

9)

Fat content = 25% (700) = 175 kcals

10) 30000% of total calories provided by PRO ( 1 kilo calorie = 1000 calories)
