To find the total kilocalories (Calories) listed for a black cherry almond bar, we need to know the amounts of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins in the bar. Once we have these values, we can calculate the total kilocalories by summing the energy values for each macronutrient.
Let's assume the black cherry almond bar contains 20g of carbohydrates, 10g of fat, and 8g of protein.
The energy from carbohydrates can be calculated as:
Energy from carbohydrates = 20g * 4 kcal/g = 80 kcal
The energy from fats can be calculated as:
Energy from fats = 10g * 9 kcal/g = 90 kcal
The energy from proteins can be calculated as:
Energy from proteins = 8g * 4 kcal/g = 32 kcal
Finally, we can calculate the total kilocalories by summing the energy values for each macronutrient:
Total kilocalories = Energy from carbohydrates + Energy from fats + Energy from proteins
Total kilocalories = 80 kcal + 90 kcal + 32 kcal = 202 kcal
Therefore, the total kilocalories listed for the black cherry almond bar is 202 Calories.
Using the energy values for carbohydrates, fats, and proteins (see table below), what are the total kilocalories (Calories) listed for a black cherry almond bar? (Round off answers for each food type to the tens place.)
