Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 200 grams

Rationale: First determine the number of calories for carbohydrates by multiplying the total number of calories by the percentage; 1600 calories  50 = 800 calories. Then divide the total calories by calories/gram. For carbohydrates, this would be 800 calories/4 = 200 grams. The client should eat 200 grams of carbohydrates each day.
