Help With A Math/science Problem…..?

Charles ate a pizza containing 80 grams of fat @ 8 calories per gram. How many grams of fat is he allowed for the rest of the day without exceeding the recommended maximum daily energy intake from fat (35%) on a 2000 calorie/day diet?
Please help me, folks…. Thanks in advance!

Figure the total calories from fat by multiplying 35% to 2000
Figure calories already eaten by multiplying 80 grams by 8 calories.
subtract the calories consumed from the total allowed calories
Divide the remaining calories by 8 cal/gram to get back to remaining grams

2000 – 640. I know that’s the operation.

Negative Calorie Foods

The phrase, "negative calorie food", as highlighted in negative calorie diet programs and books, usually refers to foods that allegedly require more energy to digest than they contain.
