Question

Balanced diet should contain 12% of proteins, 25% of fats and 63% of carbohydrates. If a child needs 2600 calories in this food daily, find in calories the amount of each of these in his daily food intake.

Answer 1

Amount of calorie daily needed = 2600 calorie

 Amount of protein needed =12% of 2600 \(=\frac{2600\times12}{100}=312\) calorie

Amount of fats needed =25% of 2600 \(=\frac{2600\times25}{100}=650\) calorie

Amount of carbohydrate needed =63% of 2600 \(=\frac{2600\times63}{100}=1638\) calorie
