Question

a person consumes 8 grams of protein, 25 grams of carbohydrates, 6 grams of fat, and 4 grams of alcohol. what is the total energy value (in kcalories) from these stated amounts?
o a. 224 kilocalories
o b. 254 kilocalories
o c. 214 kilocalories
o d. 204 kilocalories

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate calories from protein

Calories from protein = \(8\times4 = 32\) (since 1g protein = 4 kcal)

Step2: Calculate calories from carbohydrates

Calories from carbohydrates = \(25\times4=100\) (since 1g carbohydrate = 4 kcal)

Step3: Calculate calories from fat

Calories from fat = \(6\times9 = 54\) (since 1g fat = 9 kcal)

Step4: Calculate calories from alcohol

Calories from alcohol = \(4\times7=28\) (since 1g alcohol = 7 kcal)

Step5: Sum up all calories

Total calories \(=32 + 100+54 + 28=214\)

Answer:

C. 214 kilocalories
