Carbohydrates (e.g., starches and sugars) are the body’s primary fuel to carry out
necessaryprocesses; fat is the secondary source of energy.

• Which of the following is the most accurate statement regarding the functions of
protein?
• Proteins can be a primary fuel source even if there is adequate carbohydrate
intake.
• Proteins are a necessary nutrient to provide energy for the body in times of
stress.
• Proteins can be used as coenzyme factors during cell metabolism.
• 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 that ensures adequate growth and maintenance of
tissues for a strong body.

• A 65-year-old man requires 2000 kcal/day without any specific fat or
carbohydrate requirements. The approximate number of kilocalories per
day from fat that his diet shouldprovide is kcal/day.
a. 400 to 700
b. 100 to 300
c. 500 to 800
d. 900 to 1200
ANS: A
Fat should provide no more than 20% to 35% of the total kilocalories per day,
so for a 2000-kcal diet, 400 to 700 kcal should be provided.

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)
