Answer 1

A client takes  30 grams of carbohydrates, 4 grams of protein, and 10 grams of fat.

As we know

1 gram carbohydrate contained 4 Kcal

1 gram protein contained 4 Kcal

1 gram fat contained 9 Kcal

So, if clients takes 30 grams of carbohydrates then,

So, if clients takes 4 grams of protein then,

So, if clients takes 10 grams of fats then,

Now, total intake is 120 + 16 + 90 = 226 Kcal

Answer - 226 Kcal
