Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To calculate the kilocalorie value of this cup of chocolate milk, we need to multiply the amount of each macronutrient by its corresponding caloric value per gram (4 kcal/g for carbs and protein, 9 kcal/g for fat) and then add them all together:
- Carbs: 15 g x 4 kcal/g = 60 kcal
- Fat: 8 g x 9 kcal/g = 72 kcal
- Protein: 8 g x 4 kcal/g = 32 kcal
Total: 60 + 72 + 32 = 164 kcal. Therefore, the best choice is A.
