Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To find the number of kilocalories of fat in the meal, we need to first find the total number of kilocalories from carbohydrates and proteins.

48% of the total energy in the meal comes from carbohydrates, which is (48/100) x 1120 = 537.6 kilocalories.

13% of the total energy in the meal comes from proteins, which is (13/100) x 1120 = 145.6 kilocalories.

Now, we can subtract the kilocalories from carbohydrates and proteins from the total number of kilocalories to find the kilocalories from fat.

Total kilocalories - carbohydrates kilocalories - proteins kilocalories = fat kilocalories

1120 - 537.6 - 145.6 = 437 kilocalories

Therefore, the answer is D, 437.
