One slice of bread with a tablespoon of peanut butter on it contains 20g carbohydrate, 10g protein,and 9g fat. Calculate total energy consumed in this intake

Correct answer: C. 201kcal

  • A. 158kcal
  • B. 173kcal
  • C. 201kcal
  • D. 218kcal

Explanation

Energy from carbohydrates=20g×4kcal/g=80kcalEnergy from protein=10g×4kcal/g=40kcalEnergy from fat=9g×9kcal/g=81kcalTotal energy=Energy from carbohydrates+Energy from protein+Energy from fatTotal energy=80kcal+40kcal+81kcal=201kcal
