Answer #1

A) Total calories from protein in Quarter Pounder (with cheese) = 264 calories

Calculation based on the nutritional values from mcdonalds.com

Weight of one Quarter Pounder = 220 grams

Protein content in 100 grams of Quarter Pounder = 30 grams

Protein content in 220 grams or one Quarter Pounder = 220 * 30/100 = 220 * 30/100 = 66 grams

As per the calorie content of macronutrients given in the question, one gram protein has 4 calories

Therefore, total calories from protein in a Quarter Pounder = 66 * 4 = calories = 264 calories

B) Total calories from carbs and fat separately in a Quarter Pounder

Total calories from fat in a Quarter Pounder = 495 calories

Total calories from carbs in a Quarter Pounder = 369.6 calories

Calculation based on the nutritional values from mcdonalds.com

Weight of one Quarter Pounder = 220 grams

Total fat content in 100 grams of Quarter Pounder = 25  grams

Total fat content in 220  grams or one Quarter Pounder = 220 * 25/100 = 220 * 0.25 = 55 grams

As per the calorie content of macronutrients given in the question, one gram fat has 9 calories

Therefore, total calories from fat in a Quarter Pounder = 55 * 9 = 495 calories

Carb content in 100 grams of Quarter Pounder = 42 grams

Carb content in 220  grams or one Quarter Pounder = 220 * 42/100 = 220 * 0.42 = 92.4 grams

As per the calorie content of macronutrients given in the question, one gram of carbohydrates has 4 calories

Therefore, total calories from carbs in a Quarter Pounder = 92.4 * 4 = 369.6 calories
