Question Answered step-by-step Homework 2: Label Calculation Hide Folder Information Instructions… Homework 2: Label Calculation    Hide Folder InformationInstructions In this assignment you’ll be learning how to do a label calculation.So, what do you like to eat?Get a food label from a product containing carbohydrates, protein, and fat and calculate the total kcal for each.Also calculate the percentage of kcal each of the 3 nutrients is of the total kcal of the food.For the fat component, indicate whether or not it falls in the acceptable range of fat intake. Please tell me what food item you’re calculating.  Follow the example we covered in the Chapter 2 online notes (the page called “How to do a label calculation”). If you happen to select a food that contains more than 35% fat, that’s OK!  You don’t have to cut it out of your diet altogether.  If it’s an item you really don’t want to do without, then choose a lower fat item later in the day that will off-set it.  The goal is balance.  Sometimes you’ll go over, sometimes under, but what you want in the end is to have a good balance, with your total fat consumption for the day to be under 35% of total kcal.Hint:  Your 3 % numbers that you calculate should total to be close to 100%.  If they do not, then go back and check your math.  This is a good double-check of your calculations.REMEMBER, your calculation should look like the same format as in the Chp.2 online notes, so you’ll have a % for each of the 3 energy-yielding nutrients.  SHOW YOUR WORK!  There will be a label problem just like this on the 1st test and I want to make sure you can do it just right.If you choose a food item that contains nuts, such as peanut butter, then the fat content will be very high.  This is not a bad thing b/c nuts contain good fats, which are more heart-healthy.  We’ll be learning more about this in Chp.5.  Biology Science Nutrition BIOL 1322 Share QuestionEmailCopy link Comments (0)
