Answer:


3468 calories

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know


1 gram of carbohydrate has
4 gram of calories


1 gram of fat has
9 gram of calories


1 gram of protein has
4 gram of calories

Thus ,

Total calories in
240grams of carbohydrate


240*4\\= 960

Total calories in
220grams of fats


220*9\\= 1980

Total calories in
132grams of proteins


132*4\\=528

Hence, total calories in Marci's Caloric intake


= 960+1980+528\\= 3468

The answer is 3468 kcals. Protein and carbohydrates both contain 4 calories per gram, while fat provides 9 calories per gram.

Carbohydrate = 240 gms x 4 = 960 cal Protein = 132 x 4 = 528 cal Fat = 220 x 9 = 1980 cal

Total : 960+528+1980 = 3468 calories
