An ounce of cheddar cheese has 7 grams of protein and 110 calories. An ounce of parmesan cheese has 11 grams of protein and 22 calories. Could she eat 1 ounce of cheddar cheese and 3 ounces of parmesan cheese?

Answer 1

Answer: yes let her eat and enjoy

Step-by-step explanation: an ounce of cheddar cheese has

7g of protein and 110 calories

3 ounces parmesan cheese has

3x11g of protein and 3x22 calories

=33g of protein and 66 calories

So 33+7=40g of protein which is okay fro her

66+110=176 calories which is still within limits

Yes, she could. By eating 1 ounce of cheddar cheese and 3 ounces of Parmesan cheese, she would be consuming 40 grams of protein and 176 calories.
