100 x 4 (each gram of Carb gives you 4 kCal)

25 x 9 (each gram of fats gives you 9 kcal)

20 x 4 (each gram of protein gives you 4kcal)

________

Total = 705 kCal

You have to memorize how much energy each of CHO, Protein, and Fats gives you. That's the hardest part of this questions! hope this helps smiling face
