Sidney was at the coffee shop. She could not make up her mind about what she should choose for a drink. She narrowed her choice down to either a small vanilla blended drink with whipped cream (4g protein, 10g fat, 52g carbohydrates) or a small whole-milk cappuccino (6g protein, 6g fat, 9g carbohydrates). Which of these two drinks is of higher caloric value? Which of these two drinks contains a higher proportion of energy as fat?

• The small vanilla blended drink will provide 4 × 4 = 16 Kcal from protein; 10 × 9 = 90 Kcal from fat; 52 × 4 = 208 Kcal from carbohydrates.
• The total energy content of the drink is 16 + 90 + 208 = 314 Kcal. Thus the percentage of energy from fat is 90/314 = 29%.
• The small whole-milk cappuccino will provide 6 × 4 = 24 Kcal from protein; 6 × 9 = 54 Kcal from fat; 9 × 4 = 36 Kcal from carbohydrates.
• The total energy content of the drink is 24 + 54 + 36 = 114 Kcal. Thus the percentage of energy from fat is 54/114 = 47%.
• The small vanilla blended drink is higher in caloric value.
• The small whole-milk cappuccino supplies a higher proportion of energy as fat.
