Question

"A serving of fish contains 50 g protein and 4 g of fat. If protein has a caloric value of 4 kcal/g and fat has 9 kcal/g, how many kcal are in the serving?"

Answer 1

Answer: 236 kcal

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A serving of fish contains 50 g protein and 4 g of fat.

i.e. content of protein = 50 g

content of fat = 4 g

Also, The caloric value in protein = 4 kcal/g

The caloric value in fat = 9 kcal/g

Calories in 50 g  protein = (content of protein)x (caloric value in protein )

= 50g x 4 kcal/g = 200 kcal

Calories in 4 g fat=  (content of fat)x (caloric value in fat)

=4 g x  9 kcal/g =  36 kcal

Then, the total calories in the serving will be :Calories in 50 g  protein + Calories in 4 g fat

= 200 kcal+ 36 kcal =236 kcal

Hence, there are 236 kcal  in the serving.
