. If a suggested daily protein consumption of .8 grams / Kg. Body weight is recommended, how many protein Kcals would be represented in the diet of a 220 lb. Individual with no suggested health concerns or limitations? (Kgs. = lbs. / 2.2 ; The caloric density of protein is 4 Kcals / gm.)

The amount of protein Kcals in the individual's diet would be 320 Kcals.

The recommended daily protein consumption = 0.8grams / Kg body weight

The body weight of the individual is given as 220 lbs.

The weight of the individual would need to be converted to Kg.

Conversion factor between Kg and lbs is given as: 1 Kg = 2.2 lbs

The weight of the individual in Kg  = 220 lbs * 1 kg /2.2 lbs ) = 100 kg

Amount of recommended protein intake of the individual based on body weight will be: 0.8 grams/ Kg * 100 Kg  = 80 grams

Caloric density of protein per gram = 4 Kcals / gram

Therefore, protein Kcals in the individual's diet will be 4 Kcals / gram * 80 grams = 320 Kcals

The amount of protein Kcals in the individual's diet would be 320 Kcals.

The correct answer would be - 320 kcal.

Explanation:

Given:

Required protein amount is - .8 grams/kg

kg = lbs/2.2

weight = 220

then, weight in kg = 220/2.2 = 100 kg

solution :

requied amount of protein in normal individual:

= 100* 0.8

= 80 grams.

Now kcal by this amount of protein would be :

= 80*4

= 320 Kcal

Thus, the correct answer would be - 320 kcal.
