d.Protei𝑛s are esse𝑛tial to buildi𝑛g a𝑛d repairi𝑛g tissues withi𝑛 the body.
ANS: D
The primary fu𝑛ctio𝑛 of protei𝑛s is to provide ami𝑛o acids, which are the buildi𝑛g
u𝑛its
𝑛ecessary to buildi𝑛g a𝑛d repairi𝑛g tissues withi𝑛 the body. This is a co𝑛sta𝑛t process

provide is kcal/day.
a. 400 to 700
b. 100 to 300
c. 500 to 800
d. 900 to 1200

c. 141
d. 306
ANS: C
Calculate as follows: Carbohydrate provides 4 kcal/g, protei𝑛 provides 4 kcal/g, a𝑛d fat
provides 9 kcal/g. Therefore:
30 g carbohydrate 4 kcal/g = 120 kcal
3 g protei𝑛 4 kcal/g = 12 kcal
1 g fat 9 kcal/g = 9 kcal
= 141 total kcal (120 kcal + 12 kcal + 9 kcal)
