A client weighing 175 lbs wants to lose fat while preserving muscle. Using 1g of protein per pound of body weight, how many grams of protein should they consume daily?
Answer: 175g
The standard recommendation for fat loss while preserving muscle is 1g of protein per pound of body weight, so 175 lbs = 175g protein.
A client's TDEE is 2,400 calories. They are set at a 20% caloric deficit for fat loss. What is their daily calorie target?
Answer: 1,920 calories
20% of 2,400 = 480 calories, so 2,400 - 480 = 1,920 calories daily target.
Which macro provides 9 calories per gram?

Dietary fat provides 9 calories per gram, while protein and carbohydrates each provide 4 calories per gram.
A client is eating 180g protein, 60g fat, and 220g carbohydrates. How many total calories are they consuming?
