• Which of the following is the most accurate statement regarding the functions of protein?
• Proteins can be a primary fuel source even if there is adequate carbohydrate intake.
• Proteins are a necessary nutrient to provide energy for the body in times of stress.
• Proteins can be used as coenzyme factors during cell metabolism.
• Proteins are essential to tissue building and repair within the body. ANS: D
The primary function of proteins is to provide amino acids, which are the building units necessary to build an
repair tissues within the body. This is a constant process that ensuresadequate growth and maintenance of tissu
a strong body.

b. 100 to 300
c. 500 to 800
d. 900 to 1200ANS: A
Fat should provide no more than 20% to 35% of the total kilocalories per day, so for a 2000-kcaldiet 400 to 70

d. 306 ANS: C
Calculate as follows: Carbohydrate provides 4 kcal/g, protein provides 4 kcal/g, and fat provides9 kcal/g. The
30 g carbohydrate ´ 4 kcal/g = 120 kcal
3 g protein ´ 4 kcal/g = 12 kcal
1 g fat ´ 9 kcal/g = 9 kcal
= 141 total kcal (120 kcal + 12 kcal + 9 kcal)
