Part B
Food 1: Dairyland Chocolate Milk Beverage
1.(a) For my serving amount of 1 cup or 250 ml, the amount of calories derived from fat
would be 22.5 calories. (Total calories per serving: 160 calories, Total fat per serving: 2.5
grams, considering 1 gram of fat = 9 calories, hence, calories from 2.5 fat = 2.5*9= 22.5
calories). (b) For every serving, the product provides 1.5 grams of saturated fat and 0
gram of trams fat. Hence, the calories from saturated fat would be 13.5 calories and trans
fat would be 0. (Considering 1 gram of fat = 9 calories, hence calories from 1.5 grams of
saturated fat = 1.5*9 = 13.5 calories).
2.For the 1 serving or 250 ml consumed by me, the carbohydrates provided are 26 grams
which would amount to calorie count of 104 calories. (Considering 1 gram of
carbohydrate = 4 calories, hence, calories from 26 grams of carbohydrate = 26*4 = 104
calories)
