Question

Julie made a fresh fruit salad with half a cup of sliced peaches (1 g protein, 0 g fat, 14 g carbohydrates), half a cup of sliced pears (0 g protein, 0 g fat, 19 g carbohydrates), and half a cup of sectioned nectarines (1 g protein, 0 g fat, 13 g carbohydrates). How many kilocalories did Julie consume from the salad?

Answer 1

Answer:

Julie consumed  192 kilocalories from the salad.

Explanation:

Each gram of protein is equivalent to 4 kilocalories.

Each gram of carbohydrates  is equivalent to 4 kilocalories.

• Half a cup of Sliced peaches : -(Protein: 1 *4 )+(carbohydrates 14*4)  =60
• Half a cup of Sliced pears: - carbohydrates: 19*4 =76
• Half a cup of sectioned nectarines: (protein: 1*4)+ (carbohydrates 13*4)=56 kcal

if we add the three previous results it gives us 192 kilocalories
