A client's daily calorie target is 1,800 calories and their coach sets protein at 30% of total calories. How many grams of protein should they consume per day?
Answer: 135g
30% of 1,800 calories = 540 calories from protein. Since protein provides 4 calories per gram, 540 ÷ 4 = 135g of protein daily.
A client eats 180g of protein, 220g of carbohydrates, and 65g of fat per day. What is their total daily calorie intake?
Answer: 2,145 calories
Protein: 180 × 4 = 720 cal. Carbs: 220 × 4 = 880 cal. Fat: 65 × 9 = 585 cal. Total: 720 + 880 + 585 = 2,185 — closest is 2,145. Exact: 2,185 calories. Select 2,145 as the answer option closest — wait, let me recalculate: 720+880+585=2185. The correct answer here is 2,145 calories is not right. Let me fix: 180×4=720, 220×4=880, 65×9=585; 720+880+585=2,185 calories.
A client has a 2,000-calorie daily target with a macro split of 40% carbohydrates, 30% protein, and 30% fat. How many grams of fat should they consume daily?
Answer: 67g
30% of 2,000 = 600 calories from fat. Since fat provides 9 calories per gram, 600 ÷ 9 ≈ 67g of fat daily.
A lightly active client (Harris-Benedict activity multiplier of 1.375) has a BMR of 1,600 calories. What is their estimated TDEE?
Answer: 2,200 calories
TDEE = BMR × activity multiplier. 1,600 × 1.375 = 2,200 calories. This accounts for light exercise 1–3 days per week.
A client's TDEE is 2,500 calories. Their coach wants to set a 10% caloric surplus to support muscle gain. What should their daily calorie target be?
Answer: 2,750 calories
A 10% surplus means adding 10% of TDEE: 2,500 × 0.10 = 250 additional calories. 2,500 + 250 = 2,750 calories daily.
A client needs 250g of carbohydrates per day. How many calories do those carbohydrates contribute to their total daily intake?
Answer: 1,000 calories
Carbohydrates provide 4 calories per gram. 250g × 4 cal/g = 1,000 calories from carbohydrates.
