9. Recommended Sources of Calories
Julie needs 2,200 calories a day. How many calories should she get from fats, carbohydrates, and proteins? How many grams of each?
2,200 x .3 = 660 calories from fats
660/9 = 73 grams
2,200 x .6= 1,320 calories from carbs
1,320/4 = 330 grams
2,200 x .1 = 220 calories from proteins
220/4 = 55 grams
There are about 47 grams of fat in a double cheeseburger and Fries (accounting for 64% of Julie's total intake for the day)
