Question

For lunch, Charles consumed $3oz$ of skinless chicken, $3oz$ of broccoli, $1$medium apple, and$1$ cup of nonfat milk (see Table 3.8). How many kilocalories did Charles obtain from the lunch?

Step-by-Step Solution

Answer

The amont of energy from lunch is $290 kcal.$

Step: 1 Given Information:

$3oz$ skinless chicken energy is  $110 kcal$

$3oz$ brocolli energy is  $30 kcal$

$1$ medium sixed apple energy is $60 kcal$

$1$ cup non fat milk energy is $90 kcal$

The energy amount is calaculated as below.

Step: 2 Finding energy in lunch:

The amount of the energies delivered by each diet is the total energy obtained by the person after ingesting the mentioned diet.

$\text{ Total energy }=(110+30+60+90)\mathrm{kcal}$

$\text{ Total energy }=290 \mathrm{kcal}$

Hence,energy from lunch is $290 kcal.$
