Using the same information, calculate the Calories per serving in one of your typical dinners. Please list the contents of the meal.Explanation / Answer
1)
In 1 serving:
Carbohydrate = 41 g
Calories per gm of carbohydrate = 4 cal
Energy from carbohydrate = 4*41 = 164 cal
fat = 0g
Calories per gm of fat = 9 cal
Energy from fat = 9*0 = 0cal
Proteing = 13 g
Calories per gm of protein = 4 cal
Energy from protein = 4*13 = 52 cal
Total energy in calorie = 164 +52 = 216 calories
Total energy in joule = 216*4184 = 903744 Joules
