Question

Carmen works with a dietitian who recommends that she follow a 2000 kcalorie diet to ensure that she has enough energy for her daily activities but to also prevent weight gain. Estimate the total number of carbohydrate portions Carmen would need each day if 60 percent of her kcalorie intake is from carbohydrates.

Answer 1

Answer:

20 portions

Explanation:

It is likely that Carmen needs to eat 20 servings of carbohydrates to achieve the number of calories that the nutritionist recommended for her. however, this number is an assumption and it is necessary for Carmen to ask the nutritionist to determine the value of adequate portions, because some element of Carmen's body and physiology may place some limitations on this number of portions.
