Nutrition Facts labels now appear on most foods. An abbreviated label concerned with fat is shown in Fig. 1.20. When burned in the body, each gram of fat supplies 9 Calories. (A food Calorie is really a kilocalorie, as will be learned in Chapter 11.)
(a) What percentage of the Calories in one serving is supplied by fat?
(b) You may notice that our answer doesn€™t agree with the listed Total Fat percentage in Fig. 1.20. This is because the given Percent Daily Values are the percent-ages of the maximum recommended amounts of nutrients (in grams) contained in a 2000- Calorie diet. What are the maximum recommended amounts of total fat and saturated fat for a 2000- Calorie diet?
