Question

Fat=12.0g x 9Kcal/1g =
a) 108 Kcal
b) 21.0 Kcal
c) 1.33 Kcal
d) 0.75 Kcal

Answer 1

To calculate how many grams of fat you will gain, divide the energy consumed by the energy content per gram of fat. In this case, you would gain approximately 256.41 grams of fat if you eat 10,000 kJ in one day and do nothing but sit relaxed for 16.0 h and sleep for the other 8.00 h.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate how many grams of fat you will gain, we need to convert the energy consumed into kilojoules. Given that you consume 10,000 kJ (about 2500 kcal), we can use the conversion factor of 39 kJ/g for body fat. So, the calculation is:

Grams of fat = Energy consumed / Energy content per gram of fat

Grams of fat = 10,000 kJ / 39 kJ/g = 256.41 g

Therefore, you will gain approximately 256.41 grams of fat if you eat 10,000 kJ in one day and do nothing but sit relaxed for 16.0 h and sleep for the other 8.00 h.
