The current recommendation to maintain your body weight is 2000 calories
daily. If you are told that you should not consume any more than 52 % of
your calories from carbohydrates, how many grams of carbohydrates should
you eat in a day?
2000 x .52 = 1040
1040 calories / 4 = 260 grams of carbs
Question 2
pts
If a fudge brownie has 9 grams of carbohydrates, 1 gram of protein and 12
grams of fat. How many calories are in the brownie?
Carb: 9 x 4 = 36
Pro: 1 x 4 = 4
Fat: 12 x 9 =108
36 + 4 + 108 = 148 calories
