Explanation / Answer

4 cup low- fat milk

1 cup(122 calories ) =8 grams of protein

so, 4 cup=4*8 =32 grams

4 cup of cooked vegetables

1 cup ( 147 calories)= 5.06 grams

so ,4 cup =4*5.06=20.24 grams

10 serving of whole grain products

1 serving (70 calories) =4.17 gms protein)

so, 10 serving=41.7grams (10*41.7)

total protein in amount of food = 41.7+20.24+32= 93.94 =94 grams protein
