Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To calculate the percentage of energy from fat, first calculate the total calories from fat: 100 g of fat x 9 kcal/g = 900 kcal. Then, calculate the total caloric intake: (250 g carbs x 4 kcal/g) + (100 g fat x 9 kcal/g) + (50 g protein x 4 kcal/g) = 1000 + 900 + 200 = 2100 kcal. Finally, divide the calories from fat by the total calories and multiply by 100 to get the percentage: (900/2100) x 100 = 42.86%, which rounds to 43%.
