Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Total kcalories from fat in the meal= (2g fat per serving of cereal x 1 serving) + (5g fat per bagel x 1 bagel) + (5g fat per Tbsp of cream cheese x 1 Tbsp) + (5g fat per cup of milk x 2 cups) 
= 2 + 5 + 5 + 10 = 22
Therefore, total kcalories from fat in the meal = 22 x 9 = 198
Now, kcalories from fat in 1 g of fat = 9
Therefore, kcalories from fat in 22 g of fat = 198 kcal
The best choice(s) are those that provide the most nutrients with the least amount of kcalories from fat. 
1. Choose whole grain bagels over plain bagels. Whole grain bagels are higher in fiber and nutrients than plain bagels. 
2. Choose low-fat or fat-free milk over whole milk. Low-fat or fat-free milk still provide the same amount of calcium, vitamin D, and other nutrients as whole milk, but with less kcalories from fat. 
3. Choose low-fat or fat-free cream cheese over regular cream cheese. Similar to milk, choosing low-fat or fat-free options for cream cheese will provide the same nutrients with fewer kcalories from fat.
