Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -A higher-fat food has many more calories than a food that’s low in fat and higher in protein or carbohydrates. So, the amount of fat in foods can make quite a difference when it comes to total calories in a food.
Detailed explanation-2: -Because one triglyceride molecule yields three fatty acid molecules with as much as 16 or more carbons in each one, fat molecules yield more energy than carbohydrates and are an important source of energy for the human body.
Detailed explanation-3: -No more than 30% of calories should be from fat, so take the total calories and multiply by 30%.
