Calculate the percent of kcalories coming from added sugar in Jasmine's daily intake. You will find the grams of added sugar next to total sugar on the spreadsheet. Note that these are estimates as it can vary by product. (Show your math) 2. Is she within the recommendation provided in the Dietary Guidelines for Americans for added sugars?

The Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend that the percentage of calories from added sugar should be limited to less than 10% of daily calories. Using this recommendation, calculate the upper limit of grams of added sugar per day for someone who consumes 2200 kilocalories per day. Recall that each gram of carbohydrate provides 4 kilocalories.

1) John ate a ham sandwich on whole wheat bread for a total of 388 kcalories of energy. The sandwich contains 12 grams of protein, 40 grams of carbohydrates, and 20 grams of fat. What percent of his total energy from the sandwich is from each nutrient? Protein: percent Carbohydrates: percent Fat: percent 2) Edna ate one cup of corn chips, one cup of chicken a la king, and a nectarine for a total of 688 kcalories of energy. This snack contains 30 grams of protein, 43 grams of carbohydrates, and 44 grams of fat. What percent of her total energy from the snack is from each nutrient? Protein: percent Carbohydrates: percent Fat: percent 3) Peter ate 240 kcal of protein yesterday. How many grams of protein did he eat? grams 4) It is recommended that Janice not eat more than 10% of her kcal per day in added sugars. Her recommended daily overall energy intake is 2000 kcal. How many grams of added sugars should she limit herself to? grams
