Answer 1

Required calories Per day = 2600

Required protein content= 12%

Required Carbohydrates content = 63%

Required fat content= 25%

The amount of Protein content in daily intake =

Total intake × protein percentage= 2600 ×12% = 2600×12/100 = 31600/100 = 316


The amount of fat content in daily intake =

Total intake × fat percentage= 2600 ×25% = 2600×25 /100 = 65000/100 = 650


The amount of Carbohydrates content in daily intake =

Total intake × Carbohydrates percentage= 2600 ×63% = 2600×63/100 = 163800/100 = 1638
