A healthy person eats the following diet 5 gm raw sugar 4 gm albumin,10 gm pure buffalo ghee adulterated with 2 gm vegetable ghee and 5 gm lignin. How many calories he is likely to get??

  1. 126

  2. 164

  3. 112

  4. 144

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

  • Physiological calories obtained from different food substances are - Carbohydrates give 4.0Kcal/g, Proteins give 4.0Kcal/g while fats give 9.0Kcal/g.
  • So, energy from 5g sugar = 5 x 4Kcal = 20Kcal
  • Energy from 4g albumin = 4 x 4Kcal = 16Kcal
  • energy from 10g+2g fat = 12 x 9Kcal = 108Kcal
  • lignin cannot be digested by humans because of the absence of digestive enzyme for lignin so no calories will be obtained from them. Ruminants are capable of digesting lignin.
  • Adding all the above-obtained values we get 144Kcal.

So, the correct answer is '144'.
