Evolve Nutrition Practice Exam

Question: 1 / 400

A client consumes a meal containing 13 g of fat, 31 g of carbohydrates, and 5 g of protein. What is the total caloric intake for this meal?

200 calories

240 calories

261 calories

To determine the total caloric intake for the meal, we can calculate the calories contributed by each macronutrient: fat, carbohydrates, and protein.

- Each gram of fat provides 9 calories. Therefore, for 13 grams of fat:

$ 13 \, \text{g} \times 9 \, \text{cal/g} = 117 \, \text{calories} $

- Each gram of carbohydrates contributes 4 calories. Thus, for 31 grams of carbohydrates:

$ 31 \, \text{g} \times 4 \, \text{cal/g} = 124 \, \text{calories} $

- Each gram of protein also provides 4 calories. For the 5 grams of protein:

$ 5 \, \text{g} \times 4 \, \text{cal/g} = 20 \, \text{calories} $

Now, to find the total caloric intake, we sum the contributions from fat, carbohydrates, and protein:

\( 117 \, \text{calories from fat} + 124 \, \text{calories from carbohydrates} + 20 \,
