To find the kcalories from fat, first calculate the kcalories from carbohydrates and protein. Carbohydrates provide 48% of 1,120 kcal, which is 537.6 kcal. Protein provides 13% of 1,120 kcal, which is 145.6 kcal. Subtract these from the total kcalories: 1,120 - 537.6 - 145.6 = 436.8 kcal, which rounds to 437 kcal from fat.
