is this your homework?

It is something like 4 calories per gram of carbs and 9 per gram of fat, that sounds about right as 4x25=100 calories per serving from carbs.

14 out of 25g are sugar which makes 56%

56% of 100 is 56

higher bmr from being really fit or having an overactive thyroid
lower bmr from having an underactive thyroid or being really unfit

probably the one they can turn into fuel for cars, which doesnt compare at all to "My plate".
