g

Explanation / Answer

here,

energy consumed in sitting , Es = 1.7 * 15.5 * 60

Es = 1581 Kcal

energy consumed while sleeping , Esl = 1.2 * 60 * 8.5

Esl = 612 Kcal

Energy gained by eating , Ee = 2800 Kcal

energy remained for Fat , E = Ee - Es - Esl

E = 607 Kcal

the grams of fat gained , m = E/9.3

m = 65.27 g

the fat gained is 65.27 g
