To calculate your average kcal per day of fat, you take the average grams of fat per day and multiply by the amount of calories in a gram of fat. One gram of carbohydrate has 4 kcal. One gram of protein has 4 kcal. One gram of fat has 9 kcal. One gram of alcohol has 7 kcal. Let's say you consumed a daily average of 59g of fat. How many kcalories does that equate to? QUESTION 11 Now you're being asked, of your daily average of total calories, what percentage of that are calories from fat? You need to know how many average daily calories of fat that you consumed that was what you calculated in the previous question. You also need to know your average total calories per day (you calculated that in the first question). Let's work through an example: Let's say your daily average of total calories was 2,000 kcal/day, and your average fat was 500 kcal/day. You would then divide 500 by 2.000 (x 100) to get the percentage of total calories that are from protein, 500/2000 -0.25 x 100 (to convert to a percentage) - 25% This means that 25% of your average daily total calories are from fat (the rest of your calories are coming from carbohydrates, protein, and/or alcohol). Now you try an example: 2.386 kcal/day-daily average of total calories 553 kcal/day-daily average of fat What percentage of the daily average of total calories is your fat intake? Adults should get at least 0.37g of protein per pound of body weight per day (8g/kg). If you weigh 176 pounds, you should eat at least how many grams of protein per day? Hint: To calculate, for example, if a person weighs 130 pounds, they should eat at least 48 grams of protein per day (130 pounds *0.37g/pound=48g) QUESTION 15 Here is another problem you'll be asked to solve: Average fat per day should be less than 30% of your total calories per day. If your average total calories per days is 2,519, and you consumed an average of 52g of fat per day, what percentage of your diet is that? Hint: To calculate, for example, if you ate a 1200 cal diet per day with 50g of fat per day, that would be 9cal/g * 50g = 450 calories per day from fat; divide that by 1200 and you get .375 which is rounded to 38% of your calories per day from fat.
