Directions: Turn in assignment via Reggienet by 5/22 at 11:55pm.
Part 1: Use a nutrition facts panel from an item you frequently consume from your refrigerator, pantry
or grocery store. The item must be more than 200 calories per serving to qualify for this assignment. The
item must also hae a approed utriet otet lai o the lael For exaple ‘edued alories,
low fat, sodium free, excellent source of, etc.).
Provide the following information concerning number of grams of each of the follow macronutrients. (2
pts total – if you fail to enter a number for any of these, you will not receive 2 points. You must enter an
amount of grams for each to receive the full 2 points. If it does not have a certain nutrient, then you can
eter 0 gras)
1) Grams of total carbohydrates per serving: 37 grams
2) Grams of sugar per serving: 3 grams
3) Grams of fiber per serving: 2 grams
4) Grams of total fat per serving: 17 grams
5) Grams of saturated fat per serving: 7 grams
6) Grams of trans fat per serving: 0 grams
7) Grams of protein per serving: 12 grams
Using the values determined above, calculate the number of kilocalories from carbohydrates, fats and
protein in a single serving. Then calculate the total number of kilocalories in a serving. You will only
receive credit if you show your work. (1 pt each)
1) Calories from total carbohydrates: 37 (grams of carb/serving) x 4 (calories/gram of carbs) = 148
kilocalories of carbohydrates/gram)
2) Calories from sugar: 3 (grams of sugar/serving) x 9 (calories/gram of fat) = 27 kcal of
sugar/gram)
3) Calories from fiber: 2 (grams of fiber/serving) x 4 (calories/gram of carbs) = 8 kcal of fiber
**since fiber is a carbohydrate, I just multiplied it by the calories/gram of carbs**
4) Calories from total fat: 17 (grams of total fat/serving) x 9 (calories/gram of total fat) = 153 kcal
of total fat/gram
5) Calories from saturated fat: 7 (grams of saturated fat/serving) x 9 (calories/gram of saturated
fat) = 63 kcal of saturated fat/gram
6) Calories from trans fat: 0 (grams of trans fat/serving) x 9 (calories/gram of trans fat) = 0 kcal of
trans fat/gram
7) Calories from protein: 12 (grams of protein/serving) x 4 (calories/gram of protein) = 48 kcal of
protein/serving
8) Total calories per serving: 148 + 27 + 153 + 48 = 376 total kcal/serving ** I did not add saturated
fat, trans fat or fiber to the total amount of calories because they are added into the total carbs
and total fat portions**
