Chapter 22, Problem 22.8E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The Daily Values (DV) for fat, saturated fat, total carbohydrate, and fiber based on a $2000$-calorie diet is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

The value of percent DV represents the percent of an individual nutrient in one serving of food. For a healthy adult, the value of DV is based on a $2000$-calorie diet. For the proper functioning of body metabolism, it is necessary to take all the mandatory nutrients.

Answer to Problem 22.8E

Daily Values (DV) for fat based on a $2000$-calorie diet is $50\text{g}$.

Daily Values (DV) for saturated fat based on a $2000$-calorie diet is $\text{0}\text{g}$.

Daily Values (DV) for total carbohydrate based on a $2000$-calorie diet is $\text{287}\text{.5}\text{g}$.

Daily Values (DV) for fiber based on a $2000$-calorie diet is $\text{25}\text{g}$.

Explanation of Solution

Total fat per serving is $1\text{g}$.

DV fulfilled by $1\text{g}$ fat is $2\%$.

The DV for fat is calculated by the following formula.

$\text{DV}\text{for}\text{fat}=\frac{\text{Fat}\text{per}\text{serving}\left(\text{g}\right)}{\%\text{Quantity}/100}$…(1)

Substitute the value of fat per serving and percent quantity fulfilled by fat in equation (1).

$\begin{array}{rll}\text{DV}\text{for}\text{fat}& =& \frac{1\text{g}}{2/100}\\ & =& \frac{100}{2}\text{g}\\ & =& \text{50}\text{g}\end{array}$

Therefore, Daily Values (DV) for fat based on a $2000$-calorie diet is $50\text{g}$.

Total saturated fat per serving is $0\text{g}$.

DV fulfilled by $0\text{g}$ saturated fat is $0\%$.

The DV for saturated fat is calculated by the following formula.

$\text{DV}\text{for}\text{saturated}\text{fat}=\frac{\text{Saturated}\text{fat}\text{per}\text{serving}\left(\text{g}\right)}{\%\text{Quantity}/100}$…(2)

Substitute the value of saturated fat per serving and percent quantity fulfilled by saturated fat in equation (2).

$\begin{array}{rll}\text{DV}\text{for}\text{saturated}\text{fat}& =& \frac{0}{\%\text{Quantity}/100}\\ & =& 0\text{g}\end{array}$

Therefore, Daily Values (DV) for saturated fat based on a $2000$-calorie diet is $\text{0}\text{g}$.

Total carbohydrate per serving is $23\text{g}$.

DV fulfilled by $23\text{g}$ total carbohydrate is $8\%$.

The DV for total carbohydrate is calculated by the following formula.

$\text{DV}\text{for}\text{total}\text{carbohydrate}=\frac{\text{Total}\text{carbohydrate}\text{per}\text{serving}\left(\text{g}\right)}{\%\text{Quantity}/100}$…(3)

Substitute the value of total carbohydrate per serving and percent quantity fulfilled by total carbohydrate in equation (3).

$\begin{array}{rll}\text{DV}\text{for}\text{total}\text{carbohydrate}& =& \frac{23}{8/100}\text{g}\\ & =& \text{287}\text{.5}\text{g}\end{array}$

Therefore, Daily Values (DV) for total carbohydrate based on a $2000$-calorie diet is $\text{287}\text{.5}\text{g}$.

Total fiber per serving is $1.5\text{gm}$.

DV fulfilled by $1.5\text{g}$ fiber is $6\%$.

The DV for fiber is calculated by the following formula.

$\text{DV}\text{for}\text{fiber}=\frac{\text{Fiber}\text{per}\text{serving}\left(\text{g}\right)}{\%\text{Quantity}/100}$…(4)

Substitute the value of fiber per serving and percent quantity fulfilled by fiber in equation (4).

$\begin{array}{rll}\text{DV}\text{for}\text{fiber}& =& \frac{1.5}{6/100}\text{g}\\ & =& \text{25}\text{g}\end{array}$

Therefore, Daily Values (DV) for fiber based on a $2000$-calorie diet is $\text{25}\text{g}$.

Conclusion

Daily Values (DV) for fat based on a $2000$-calorie diet is $50\text{g}$, Daily Values (DV) for saturated fat based on a $2000$-calorie diet is $\text{0}\text{g}$, Daily Values (DV) for total carbohydrate based on a $2000$-calorie diet is $\text{287}\text{.5}\text{g}$ and Daily Values (DV) for fiber based on a $2000$-calorie diet is $\text{25}\text{g}$.
