Assume Deb eats three 150-gram bags of potato chips each day. Use the USDA food database to calculate Deb’s calorie consumption and the number of grams of protein, carbohydrates (by difference), and the total fat that she eats. You may use any brand of potato chips in the database, but state the brand in your answer.
I'll use Lay's potato chips as the reference for this problem. Link to nutrition info: https://www.lays.com/products/lays-classic-potato-chips Looking at the calorie info, it's 160 calories, 2g protein, 10g fat. As for the carbohydrates, we can take 15g total carbohydrates and subtract 1g from fiber to get 14g carbohydrates by difference. From there, for each quantity, divide by 28 to get the amount per gram, then multiply by 3 * 150 since she's eating 3 * 150 g size bags.
