If a person consumed 35% of a diet providing 2500 kcalories from protein, approximately how many grams of protein would be ingested?

219 grams

Explanation:

Proteins are body building foods. They can be gotten from meat, beans, fish etc. When the body is out of energy, sometimes protein is utilized in place.

In a complete oxidation of 1 gram of protein 4 kcalories is being generated.

In our question, we are given that;

If a person consumed 35% of a diet = 0.35

providing that there are 2500 kcalories there, then the person have consumed (2500 × 0.35) kcalories of protein

= 875 kcalories of protein.

So, if 1 gram = 4 kcalories

∴       x gram = 875 kcalories

To find (x) which is the gram of protein that would be ingested, we have;

=

= 218.75 grams

≅ 219 grams
