Calculate the % of protein found in a breakfast bar that contains 4g protein, 2g fat and 8g carbohydrate.
%=% of total kcal intake
4g protein X 4 kcal/g= 16 kcal
2g fat X 9 kcal/g= 18 kcal
8 g carbs X 4 kcal/g= 32 kcal
Total kcal= 66 kcal
16 kcal protein/66 total kcal X 100= 24.2 % of the kilocalories are from protein
