Question

why does reducing the amount of fat in the diet have a greater impact on total calories than reducing the amount of carbohydrates?
fat converts to glycogen
fat contains more energy than carbohydrates
carbohydrates are quick energy
fat converts to triglycerides

Explanation:

Fat provides ~9 Calories per gram, while carbohydrates provide ~4 Calories per gram. Thus, reducing the same weight of fat removes more total Calories than reducing carbohydrates, making this the key reason for the greater impact. Other options describe properties (e.g., quick energy for carbs) or processes (e.g., fat conversion) not directly explaining the calorie impact difference.

Answer:

B. fat contains more energy than carbohydrates
