Question

For dinner, Marcus consumes 255 grams of carbohydrate, 70 grams of protein, and 50 grams of fat. In addition, Marcus decides that he wants a glass of wine with his meal. If he drinks one glass of wine containing 8 grams of alcohol, how many total kilocalories (kcal) does he consume in this meal? 56 1,806 540 1,675

Answer 1

Answer:

1,806

Explanation:

Calorie is the amount of energy a food provides the body to perform its vital functions. To know the total amount of calories a food has, read the label and take into account the amount of protein, carbohydrate and fat, calculating the total calories as follows:

• For every 1g of carbs: add 4 calories;
• For every 1g of protein: add 4 calories;
• For every 1g of fat: add 9 calories.
• For every 1g of alcohol: add 7 calories.

This way we can calculate the amount of calories from Marcus's dinner as follows:

(255x4)+(70x4)+(50x9)+(8x7) = 1,806 kilocalories (kcal)
