8. The number of kilocalories provided by one slice of bread that contains 30 g carbohydrate,
3 g protein, and 1 g fat is kcal.
a.
34
b.
136
c.
141
d.
306
ANS: C
Calculate as follows: Carbohydrate provides 4 kcal/g, protein provides 4 kcal/g, and fat
provides 9 kcal/g. Therefore:
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)
