Answer:

b. 44.11

Explanation:

To find out the percentage of kilocalories in the meal that are from protein, we need to first calculate the total kilocalories from protein.

1 gram of protein provides approximately 4 kilocalories of energy.

Given that the meal contains 31.1 grams of protein, we can calculate the kilocalories from protein:

Kilocalories from protein = 31.1 grams * 4 kcal/gram = 124.4 kcal

Now, to find the percentage of kilocalories in the meal that are from protein, we divide the kilocalories from protein by the total kilocalories in the meal and multiply by 100:

Percentage = (Kilocalories from protein / Total kilocalories) * 100

Total kilocalories in the meal = 282 kcal

Percentage = (124.4 kcal / 282 kcal) * 100 ≈ 44.11%

So, the correct answer is option:

b. 44.11
