Question

12 of 14
according to myplate, a young adult male should have 6.5 ounces of protein foods each day. how many ounces would still be needed after the person eats two eggs for breakfast?
2 ounces
5 ounces
4.5 ounces
3.5 ounces

Explanation:

Step1: Determine protein from eggs

One egg is considered 1 ounce of protein. So two eggs provide \(2\times1 = 2\) ounces of protein.

Step2: Calculate remaining protein

The total required is 6.5 ounces. Subtract the protein from eggs: \(6.5 - 2=4.5\) ounces.

Answer:

4.5 ounces
