Question

You determine that Lauren's EER is 2200 kcal/day. You recommend and intake of 60% CHO, 15% protein, and 25% fat. Approximately how many grams of carbohydrate can Lauren have per day?

Answer 1

The answer to your question is 330 g of CHO

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Calories needed = 2200 kcal/day

CHO = 60%

Proteins = 15%

Fats = 25%

Grams of carbohydrates needed = ?

Process

1.- Calculate the number of calories in 60% of 2200 kcal

2200 kcal ---------------- 100%

x --------------- 60%

x = (60 x 2200) / 100

x = 1320 kcal

2.- Calculate the grams of CHO

1 g of CHO ---------------- 4 kcal

x ---------------- 1320 kcal

x = (1320 x 1) / 4

x = 1320/4

x = 330 g of CHO
