Question

A client has a product that reads 75mls per serving. The client consumes 180 mls of the product which reads per serving 13.5g carbs, 10g protein, and 4g fat. How much energy has the client consumed.

Answer 1

To calculate the energy consumed by the client, we need to use the following formula:

Energy (in calories) = (grams of carbohydrate x 4) + (grams of protein x 4) + (grams of fat x 9)

First, let's calculate the amount of each nutrient in the 180ml serving:

Carbohydrates: (75 ml / serving) x (13.5 g / 75 ml) x 180 ml = 32.4 g

Protein: (75 ml / serving) x (10 g / 75 ml) x 180 ml = 24 g

Fat: (75 ml / serving) x (4 g / 75 ml) x 180 ml = 9.6 g

Now we can calculate the energy consumed:

Energy = (32.4 g x 4) + (24 g x 4) + (9.6 g x 9) = 129.6 + 96 + 86.4 = 312 calories

Therefore, the client has consumed 312 calories from the 180 ml serving of the product.
