Question

question 9
if you are on a 2,000 calorie diet per day, and you are aiming for 20% to come from fat/lipids, how many grams of fat would you try to consume?
options: 44, 24, 35, 60

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate calories from fat

First, find 20% of 2000 calories. The formula for percentage is $ \text{Part} = \text{Whole} \times \text{Percentage} $. So, $ 2000 \times 0.20 = 400 $ calories from fat.

Step2: Convert calories to grams of fat

Fat provides 9 calories per gram. To find grams, use the formula $ \text{Grams} = \frac{\text{Calories from fat}}{\text{Calories per gram of fat}} $. So, $ \frac{400}{9} \approx 44.44 $, which rounds to 44 grams.

Answer:

44
