QUESTION:
Calculate the Cal (kcal) in 1/2 cup of soft ice cream that contains 18 g of carbohydrate, 11 g of fat, and 4 g of protein. (Round off the answers to the tens place). (2.6)
ANSWER:Solution 78AQPStep 1 of 2:The goal of the problem is to calculate the energy in 1/2 cup of soft ice cream.Given:Mass of carbohydrate = 18 g.Mass of fat = 11 gMass of protein = 4 g The total energy of a food, when the mass of each food type is known can be calculated as below: The caloric content of food type is shown in the table below:Food typekcal/gCarbohydrate 4Fat9Protein4Let’s find the energy of carbohydrate: = 18 g = 72 kcal. Let’s find the energy of fat: = 11 g = 99 kcal. Let’s find the energy of protein: = 4 g = 16 kcal.
