Calories from fat in a 2000-Calorie diet

Explanation / Answer

Calorific value of fat = 9 cal/ g

2000 calories diet

maximum amount of fat consumed = 65 g

Maximum no. of calories = maximum amount × calorific value

Maximum no. of calories = 65 × 9

= 585 calories

= 0.585 Kcal

2500 calories diet

maximum amount of fat consumed = 80 g

Maximum no. of calories = maximum amount × calorific value

Maximum no. of calories = 80 × 9

= 720 calories

= 0.720 Kcal
