A patient consumes 100 ml of soup containing 20g of carbohydrates, 5g of protein, 2g of fat and 70 ml of water. What will be the calorific value of the soup?

Correct option is D

(d) 118 kcal:
· Calculate calories based on macronutrient energy values:
· Carbohydrates: 4 kcal/g
· Protein: 4 kcal/g
· Fat: 9 kcal/g
· Calories from carbohydrates = 20 g × 4 = 80 kcal
· Calories from protein = 5 g × 4 = 20 kcal
· Calories from fat = 2 g × 9 = 18 kcal
· Total calories = 80 + 20 + 18 = 118 kcal
· Water contains no calories, so it is excluded from calculation.
