Tomas is a 24-year-old male trying to calculate his protein needs. The Food and Nutrition Board recommends that 10% to 35% of calories come from protein. If Tomas follows a 2,300-kcal diet, how many grams of protein per day should he be consuming?

58-201 gram

Explanation:

According to the Food and Nutrition Board  10% to 35% of calories should come from protein from the diet per day. Thomas take 2,300 Kcal per day therefore 10% of 2,300 is 230 kcal and 35% is 805 kcal.

As 4 kcal is provided by one gram of protein so 230 grams of protein will be provided by approx 58 grams of protein(239/4 = 57.5) and 805 kcal will be provided by 201 grams of protein.

Therefore Tomas should consume between 58-201 grams of protein per day.

i think life is life. many could argue that life is ‘nice’ or ‘fun’ but in the end, it is immaterial and will end. nihilism is my philosophy. nothing matters in the end so why make an effort?
