Vanessa replaces the chicken in the recipe with 1 cup of canned garbanzo beans. Each 1 cup serving of her vegetarian version of this salad supplies about 288 kcal, 12 g fat, 34 g carbohydrate, and 11 g protein.

1. Calculate the approximate kcal contributed by fat, by protein, and by carbohydrate.

a. Kcal in the salad from fat: ______

b. Kcal in the salad from carbohydrate: _______

c. Kcal in the salad from protein: ______

2. Each serving of salad supplies about 288 kcal total. Calculate the approximate percentages of total kilocalories in the salad that are contributed by fat, by carbohydrate, and by protein.

a. Percent of total kcal from fat: ______

b. Percent of total kcal from carbohydrate: ______

c. Percent of total kcal from protein:_________

Explanation / Answer

Through the calculation, it is found that

1gm of carbohydrate =4 kCal

1 gram of protein = 4 kcal

1 gram of fat = 9 kilocalories

Ans 1) The salad has a total kCal = 288, out of which it was 12g of fat, 34g of carbohydrate and 11g of protein.

Total fat consumed in kcal = 108

Total carbohydrate consumed in kcal = 136

Total protein consumed in kcal = 44

Ans 2) Total serving of salad supplies = 288kcal
