How many grams of carbohydrate are in the following breakfast: 4oz orange juice, 2 slices of whole wheat toast with 2 teaspoons of margarine and 1 tablespoon jelly, 1/2 cup of oatmeal with 1/2 banana, and a small cup of black coffee?

  1. 50g

  2. 60g

  3. 90g

  4. 120g

The correct answer is: 90g

To determine the total grams of carbohydrates in the specified breakfast items, it's essential to break down each component and examine their carbohydrate content: 1. **Orange Juice (4 oz)**: A typical serving size of orange juice (4 oz) contains approximately 14 grams of carbohydrates. 2. **Whole Wheat Toast (2 slices)**: Each slice of whole wheat toast generally has around 12-15 grams of carbohydrates. For two slices, this would be between 24 and 30 grams. Using an average of 15 grams per slice, we estimate about 30 grams total for both slices. 3. **Margarine (2 teaspoons)**: Margarine typically contains minimal carbohydrates, around 0-1 gram per teaspoon. Therefore, for two teaspoons, it would contribute about 0-2 grams of carbohydrates, which is negligible compared to the other items. 4. **Jelly (1 tablespoon)**: One tablespoon of jelly can contain about 13-16 grams of carbohydrates, depending on the type. We'll use an average of 15 grams for this calculation. 5. **Oatmeal (1/2 cup cooked)**: Half a cup of cooked oatmeal usually has about 15 grams of carbohydrates. 6. **Banana
