A nutrition label indicates the organic molecules, vitamins, and minerals, and Calories present (per serving) in the food item. If an individual ate 2 cookies (please note that the amounts listed in the nutritional above are for 1 cookie), how many Calories would have been from:

1 answer

To provide accurate responses to your question regarding the Calories from Fat, Carbohydrates, and Proteins when eating 2 cookies, I would need the nutritional information from the label, such as the number of grams of Fat, Carbohydrates, and Proteins per cookie and their respective caloric values.

The general caloric values are typically:

  • Fat: 9 Calories per gram
  • Carbohydrates: 4 Calories per gram
  • Proteins: 4 Calories per gram

For example, if the nutritional information per cookie is as follows:

  • Total Fat: 5 grams
  • Total Carbohydrates: 10 grams
  • Protein: 2 grams

Then:

  1. Calories from Fat per cookie: \[ 5 , \text{g} \times 9 , \text{Calories/g} = 45 , \text{Calories} \] So, for 2 cookies: \[ 45 \times 2 = 90 , \text{Calories from Fat} \]

  2. Calories from Carbohydrates per cookie: \[ 10 , \text{g} \times 4 , \text{Calories/g} = 40 , \text{Calories} \] So, for 2 cookies: \[ 40 \times 2 = 80 , \text{Calories from Carbohydrates} \]

  3. Calories from Protein per cookie: \[ 2 , \text{g} \times 4 , \text{Calories/g} = 8 , \text{Calories} \] So, for 2 cookies: \[ 8 \times 2 = 16 , \text{Calories from Protein} \]

You can substitute the values from the cookie label to perform similar calculations. If you provide the specific amounts listed for one cookie, I can help you with the calculations.
