number of calories gained when eating different types of food differs. Some food types are more fattening relative to other types.
the number of calories consumed when eating carbohydrates -
- 4 calories/ gram * 250 g = 1000 calories
calories gained eating proteins -
- 4 calories/gram * 75 g = 300 calories
calories gained eating fats
- 9 calories/ gram * 60 g = 540 calories
total amount of calories consumed = 1000 + 300 + 540 = 1840 calories

percentage of calories coming from fats = 540/1840 *100% = 29.3 %
