For dinner, Carol consumes 250 grams of carbohydrate, 50 grams of protein, and 30 grams of fat. In addition, Carol decides that she wants a glass of wine with her meal. If she drinks one glass of wine containing 10 grams of alcohol, how many total kilocalories does she consume in this meal?

Respuesta :

Answer: 1540 Kilo calories

Explanation:

Every gram of carbohydrate consumed converts to 4 kilocalories

250 grams of Carbohydrate = 250 X 4 kilocalories

= 1000 kilocalories

Every gram of protein consumed converts to 4 kilocalories

50 grams of protein = 50 X 4 kilocalories

= 200 kilocalories

Every gram of fat consumed converts to 9 kilocalories

30 grams of fat = 30 X 9 kilocalories

= 270 kilocalories

Every gram of alcohol consumed converts to 7 kilocalories

10 grams of alcohol = 10 X 7 Kilocalories

= 70 kilocalories

Her total Kilocalories in this meal = 1000 + 200 + 270 + 70

                                                          = 1540 Kilocalories
