Answer:
1,806
Explanation:
Calorie is the amount of energy a food provides the body to perform its vital functions. To know the total amount of calories a food has, read the label and take into account the amount of protein, carbohydrate and fat, calculating the total calories as follows:
- For every 1g of carbs: add 4 calories;
- For every 1g of protein: add 4 calories;
- For every 1g of fat: add 9 calories.
- For every 1g of alcohol: add 7 calories.
This way we can calculate the amount of calories from Marcus's dinner as follows:
(255x4)+(70x4)+(50x9)+(8x7) = 1,806 kilocalories (kcal)
