Answer: 1540 Kilo calories

Explanation:


Every gram of carbohydrate consumed converts to 4 kilocalories

250 grams of Carbohydrate = 250 X 4 kilocalories

= 1000 kilocalories


Every gram of protein consumed converts to 4 kilocalories

50 grams of protein = 50 X 4 kilocalories

= 200 kilocalories

Every gram of fat consumed converts to 9 kilocalories
30 grams of fat = 30 X 9 kilocalories
= 270 kilocalories

Every gram of alcohol consumed converts to 7 kilocalories
10 grams of alcohol = 10 X 7 Kilocalories
= 70 kilocalories

Her total Kilocalories in this meal = 1000 + 200 + 270 + 70
                                                          = 1540 Kilocalories
