Question

What is the minimal number of kilocalories that should come from carbohydrates in a diet of a body builder who consumes 4,100 total kilocalories daily?

Answer 1

Answer:

1845 kcal/day

Explanation:

According to dietary guidelines, 45% to 65% of kilocalories should come from carbohydrates in a daily uptake. A minimal number of kilocalories from carbohydrate should be 45%. If a body-builder consumes 4,100 kilocalories in a day, 1845 kilocalories comes from the carbohydrate.  

45% of 4,100 kcal

= 45/100 x 4,100 kcal

= 0.45 x 4,100

= 1,845 kcal per day

It does not matter how much protein intake takes a bodybuilder. 45% of kilocalories should come from carbohydrates.
