Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

First, we need to convert Shawn's weight to kilograms. Let's assume he weighs 70 kg.

8 g/kg x 70 kg = 560 g/day

Next, we need to convert grams to kilocalories (kcal).

1 g of carbohydrate = 4 kcal

560 g x 4 kcal/g = 2,240 kcal/day

Therefore, the correct answer is C) 2,752.
