Question

The average recommended calorie intake for men is 2550 Cal. If an average of 6 kcal is obtained per gram of food, and meals are had three times a day, how many grams must each meal be?

Answer 1

The answer is 141.66 grams per each meal

Step-by-step explanation:

Calories is nothing but the unit of energy which people consume through the food and drink and they use this energy while doing physical activities. Taking right amount of calories are essential for human health.

Given -

Average calorie intake for men is 2550 cal

1 gram of food contains 6 kcal

So therefore
`(2550)/(6)=425`

so 425 gram of food will contain 2550 cal

It is also given that there are 3 meals per day, so we will divide 425 gram of foods in to 3 equal meals

`(425)/(3)= 141.66`

Therefore each meal would have 141.66 grams.
