- Calculate the number of Calories (kilocalories) in a 2000‑ and a 2500‑Cal diet that should be obtained from protein. The daily values (DV) for fat and carbohydrates and the reference daily intake (RDI) for protein are given in the table. Keep in mind that fat contains 9 Cal/g, carbohydrates contain 4 Cal/g, and protein contains 4 Cal/g. Express your answers to two significant figures. Calories from protein in a 2000‑Cal diet: Calories from protein in a 2500‑Cal diet: Nutrient Daily value (2000‑Cal diet) Daily value (2500‑Cal diet) fat < 65 g < 80 g carbohydrates 300 g 375 g protein 50 g 50 garrow_forwardEach scoop of protein powder has 26 grams of protein. If you add 2 scoops of protein to your drink, how many kcals from the protein will you consume? Round to the nearest whole number. Include the unit in your answer after a space.
