Answer #1

1gm of protein = 4kcal

1gm of carbohydrate = 4kcal

1gm of fat = 9kcal

1gm of saturated fat = 9kcal

salt does not add calories to food

Here we have, 8gm carbohydrate = 8 x 4 = 32kcal

12gm protein = 12 x 4 = 48kcal

8gm fat = 8 x 9 = 72kcal

4gm saturated fat = 4 x 9 = 36kcal

total kcal = 32 + 48 + 72 + 36 = 188kcal
