Answer 1

1. The recipe now provides about 350 total kcal from 12 g fat, 50 g carbohydrate, and 10 g protein.

1a. Calories in the quinoa mixture from fat are 108 kcal (1 g fat provides 9 kcal so, 12 g fat will provide 12 $\times$ 9 = 108kcl)

1b. Calories in the quinoa mixture from carbohydrate is 200 kcal (1 g carb provides 4 kcal so, 50g $\times$ 4 kcal/g = 200 kcal)

1c. Calories in the quinoa mixture from protein is 40 kcal (1 g of protein provides 4 kcal so, 10g $\times$ 4kcl/g = 40 kcal )

2a. out of 350 fat provides 108 kcal

% (approx 31%)

108 : 350 x 100 = 30.85

Answer - 31%

2b. out of 350 kcal carb provides 200 kcal

%

200 - 350 x 100 = 57.14

Answer - 57%

2c. out of 350 protein provides 40 kcal

%

40 = 350 x 100 = 11.42

Answer - 12%
