Answer 2

a. A slice of 8-gram carbohydrate bread has 34 calories.

b. 2 ounces of cheddar cheese with 6 grams of fat has 54 calories.

c. A serving of 10 grams of grilled chicken has 40 calories.

Step-by-step explanation:

To know how many calories a food has, multiply the amount of carbohydrate by 4, the grams of protein by 4 as well and the total fat by 9.

Thus we can conclude that:

• A slice of 8-gram carbohydrate bread has 34 calories (8x4 = 34)
• 2 ounces of cheddar cheese with 6 grams of fat has 54 calories (6x9 = 54)
• A serving of 10 grams of grilled chicken has 40 calories (10x4 = 40)

Calorie is the amount of energy a food provides the body to perform its vital functions.
