Monday 13th April's question showed how maths comes in handy when thinking about healthy eating:
Men should be eating about 2500 calories each day.
Jordan decides to check how many calories he has had, so he works out what he has eaten through the day:
Breakfast: A bowl of porridge (220 calories)
Morning Snack: A banana (90 calories)
Lunch: A ham sandwich (350 calories) and a bag of crisps (140 calories)
Afternoon Snack: An apple (90 calories) and a chocolate bar (195 calories)
Dinner: 2 slices of pizza (500 calories) and chips (365 calories)
Has Jordan eaten more or less than the recommended amount? What is the difference?
Topic: Addition and Subtraction Problems with 3-Digit Numbers
Answer: 220 + 90 + 350 + 140 + 90 + 195 + 500 + 365 = 1950
He has eaten less than the recommended amount. 2500 - 1950 = 550 calories less
