A food source with 5 grams of protein 10 grams of fat and 20 grams of carbohydrates contains how many calories?
A food source with five grams of protein, ten grams of fat, and twenty grams of carbohydrates contains 190 calories. To find this, you need to know how many calories are in a gram of protein, fat, and carbohydrates. There are four calories in one gram of protein and one gram of carbohydrates. There are nine calories in one gram of fat. Then multiply five (the number of grams of protein) by four (the number of calories in one gram of protein), ten (the number of grams of fat) by nine (the number of calories in one gram of fat), and twenty (the number of grams of carbohydrates) by four (the number of calories in one gram of carbohydrates). Add those numbers up and you will know how many calories are in the food.
