After Mrs. Kirby received nutritional advice, her neighbor asked for her help with calculating the contribution of energy from fats in her diet. For a long time, her doctor has been telling her to lower the fat intake below 30% of her total calories, but she does not really know how to do it--much less how to calculate it. Mrs. Kirby explained how she did her calculations, and the neighbor showed her "her numbers." Together they came up with total calorie intake of 2200 kcal and 63 g of fat. What is the percentage contribution of energy from fat in Mrs. Kirby's neighbor's diet?

What will be an ideal response?


26 %
