Questions: A roasted chicken multigrain sandwich contains 429 protein, 7 g fat, and 34 g carbohydrates. How much energy does the sandwich provide? A. 747 calories B. 542 calories C. 502 calories D. 367 calories E. 332 calories

To determine the energy provided by the sandwich, we need to calculate the total calories from the protein, fat, and carbohydrates. The caloric values for each macronutrient are as follows:

• Protein: 4 calories per gram
• Fat: 9 calories per gram
• Carbohydrates: 4 calories per gram

Given:

• Protein: 429 grams
• Fat: 7 grams
• Carbohydrates: 34 grams

Let's calculate the total calories:

1. Protein Calories:
   \( 429 \, \text{g} \times 4 \, \text{calories/g} = 1716 \, \text{calories} \)

2. Fat Calories:
   \( 7 \, \text{g} \times 9 \, \text{calories/g} = 63 \, \text{calories} \)

3. Carbohydrate Calories:
   \( 34 \, \text{g} \times 4 \, \text{calories/g} = 136 \, \text{calories} \)

Now, add the calories from each macronutrient to find the total energy provided by the sandwich:

\[ 1716 \, \text{calories (protein)} + 63 \, \text{calories (fat)} + 136 \, \text{calories (carbohydrates)} = 1915 \, \text{calories} \]

However, the protein value seems unusually high, which suggests there might be a typographical error in the question. Assuming the protein value should be 42.9 grams instead of 429 grams, let's recalculate:

1. Corrected Protein Calories:
   \( 42.9 \, \text{g} \times 4 \, \text{calories/g} = 171.6 \, \text{calories} \)

2. Fat Calories:
   \( 7 \, \text{g} \times 9 \, \text{calories/g} = 63 \, \text{calories} \)

3. Carbohydrate Calories:
   \( 34 \, \text{g} \times 4 \, \text{calories/g} = 136 \, \text{calories} \)

Total energy provided by the sandwich:

\[ 171.6 \, \text{calories (protein)} + 63 \, \text{calories (fat)} + 136 \, \text{calories (carbohydrates)} = 370.6 \, \text{calories} \]

Rounding to the nearest whole number, the total is approximately 371 calories. However, since this option is not available, the closest answer is:

The answer is D: 367 calories.

Explanation for each option:

• A. 747 calories: Incorrect, as the calculated total is much lower.
• B. 542 calories: Incorrect, as the calculated total is lower.
• C. 502 calories: Incorrect, as the calculated total is lower.
• D. 367 calories: Closest to the calculated total of 371 calories.
• E. 332 calories: Incorrect, as the calculated total is higher.
