Question

(c) If the man eats a 300-calorie doughnut for breakfast, what percentage of his daily recommended discretionary calories remain unused? If the man eats another 300-calorie doughnut, by what percentage will he have exceeded the daily recommended discretionary calories? Round each figure to the nearest whole number.

Answer 1

If you are trying to lose weight and otherwise improve your health, you may already be mindful about what you eat during the day. You might skip breakfast. At lunch, you may opt for a salad with lots of veggies, no croutons and low-fat dressing -- on the side, of course. Then, three o'clock hits.
