B. 1,680 kcal

C. 1,820 kcal

D. 1,730 kcal

Answer 1

Answer:

His total calorie consumption for the day is:

Option C. 1.820 kcal

Step-by-step explanation:

Protein and carbohydrates both contain 4 calories per gram, while fat provides 9 calories per gram, then:

1.) 160 grams of carbohydrates contain:

160 grams * (4 cal/gram)=640 cal

2.) 100 grams of fat contain:

100 grams * (9 cal/gram)=900 cal

3.) 70 grams of protein contain:

70 grams * (4 cal/gram)=280 cal

Then, his total calorie consumption for the day is:

T=640 cal + 900 cal +280 cal

T=1,820 cal

T=1,820 cal (1 kcal / 1,000 cal)

T=1.820 kcal
