Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To calculate the total kcal consumed in the meal, we need to calculate the kcal from each macro-nutrient and add them together:

Carbohydrates: 255 g x 4 kcal/g = 1,020 kcal
Protein: 70 g x 4 kcal/g = 280 kcal
Fat: 50 g x 9 kcal/g = 450 kcal

Total kcal from macronutrients = 1,020 + 280 + 450 = 1,750 kcal

We also need to add the kcal from the alcohol in the wine:

Alcohol: 8 g x 7 kcal/g = 56 kcal

Total kcal from the meal with the glass of wine = 1,750 + 56 = 1,806 kcal

Therefore, the best choice is D.
