Sample Question 3

The percentage of energy provided by nutrients is directly proportional to the grams of each nutrient consumed.

The energy from carbohydrates, fat, and protein will always be equal in any given meal.

The percentage of your total energy intake from carbogydrates, fat and protein can be determined by dividing the number of calories from each energy nutrient by the total calories x 100.
