Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Fats (lipids) are the most calorie-dense nutrient, providing 9 kcal per gram.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
In general, when energy requirements are completely met by kilocalorie (kcal) intake in food, weight does not change. When kilocalories ingested exceed a person's energy demands, the indi-vidual gains weight. If kilocalories ingested fail to meet a person's energy requirement, the indi-vidual loses weight. Kilocalories are a factor.
