Question

Students are asked to calculate the total fat and saturated fat content of 2 favorite packaged fast food items. Using the calculation table below, you will estimate the total fat and saturated fat contents of each packaged food item. Some food labels already have the percentage calculation completed, which will eliminate the need for completing the calculation. Once you identify the fat content you will then identify what modifications might make the food healthier or an alternative food item that might be a healthier selection for the future.

You will create a word document that includes both favorite food descriptions, and the total fat contents listed for both items selected. You will also write a narrative with a comparison of these items, including some healthier choices.

How to calculate the fat content:

Using Nutrient labels: Fats calculation:

1. Using the product's Nutrition Facts panel found on the labels from the two different packaged foods that contain fat, answer the following questions

• Name each product #1 ____________________, #2________________________
• How many calories (Kcal) are in one serving of each food? Product #1________________, Product #2___________________
• How many grams of fat, trans fat, and cholesterol are in a serving?
  • Product #1
  • ___________grams of fat
  • ___________grams of saturated fat
  • ___________grams of trans fat
  • Product #2
  • __________grams of fat
  • __________grams of saturated fat
  • __________grams of trans fat

Calculate the percentage of total calories (kcal)/serving that are from saturated fat.

First: multiply the number of grams of saturated fat by 9.

Second: divide the number of calories (kcal) contribute by saturated fat by the total number of calories (kcal) per serving.

Product 1_______grams of saturated fat X 9 calories=______calories of saturated fat/serving

____________% total calories/serving contributed by saturated fat. (To obtain the percentage, move the decimal point two places to the right, remove the decimal point, and insert % symbol).

Product 2_______grams of saturated fat X 9 calories=______calories of saturated fat/serving

____________% total calories/serving contributed by saturated fat. (To obtain the percentage, move the decimal point two places to the right, remove the decimal point, and insert % symbol).
