Hi! Can someone check my work for both of my problems? I’m not sure about the first one because I keep debating myself if its either 222 or 0.222.
- Calculate the energy provided by a foods’ nutrient content. A single scoop vanilla ice cream cone contains 4 grams of protein, 29 grams of carbohydrate, and 10 grams of fat.
- How many kcalories does the ice cream cone provide from these nutrients?
You must show all calculations for full credit
______ 4 grams x 4 calories =____0.016____ kcal protein
_____ 29 grams x 4_Calories__ =_____0.116___ kcal carbohydrate
______ 10 grams x 9 calories = ____0.09_____kcal fat
TOTAL =____0.222___ kcal
- What percentage of the energy in the ice cream cone comes from each of the energy yielding nutrients?
4 grams x 4 = (16/222) = [0.07207 x 100] =____7.21___% kcal from protein
29 grams x 4 = (116/222) = [0.5225 x 100] =___52.25____% kcal from carbohydrate
10 grams x 9 = (90/222) = [0.4054 x 100] =___40.54____% kcal from fat
TOTAL =___100 _
