Question

The USDA recommends the following grams of protein for breakfast, lunch, and dinner daily: 17g breakfast, 20g lunch, 16g dinner. What percentage of your total protein intake should be served at breakfast

Answer 1

For this case we have that the total daily protein consumption is given by:

$17g + 20g + 16g = 53g$

Now, we find the percentage corresponding to breakfast:

53g ---------> 100%

17g -----------> x

Where "x" represents the percentage of protein equivalent to breakfast:

$x = \frac {17 * 100} {53}\\x = 32.08$

Thus, at breakfast approximately 32.08% of the total protein should be consumed.

Answer:

32.08%
