Answer 1

1. c : 1 gm protein provides 4 calories . therefore multiply 82 gms of protein with 4 calories. it will give 328 calories. now divide 328 calories from 1800 calories. it will give you 0.182 calories. take the percentage of this number by multiplying it with 100. it will give you 18.2 per cent.

2. a : Lentils have the highest protein and lowest fat content among all the other listed foods . 100 gm lentils provide 9.02g protein and 0.38 fat, 16 ounce T bone steak provides 102g protein and 12g fat, 1 cup whole milk provides 7.7g protein and 7.9gf fat, pasta salad per serving provides 1.6g fat and 6.7 g protein and 162 g of cheese crackers provide 16g protein and 31g fat. (all the values are approximate)

3. a . 1 cup of vegetarian chilli with beans provides 1.5g fat and 15g proteins. In comparison to all the other alternatives, this is the best for high protein intakes as other options contain high fat content.
