Since in the real world it is not always reasonable to hit a calorie goal perfectly, you have decided to give your clients a +/-50 calorie safe zone. For instance, if their calorie target is 700, they are allowed to eat meals that total 650 to 750 calories.
To provide a variety of options for your clients, you’ve chosen to build sample meals from the menu. Your job is to design five different options that will hit an 800-calorie goal with a +/- 50 calorie safe zone.
a) Fill in the table below with a variety of proteins, condiments, and cheese , along with the number of calories that corresponds to each serving.
Protein Calories Condiment Calories
Italian B.M.T 180 Baja Chipotle southwest sauce 70
Meatballs 230 Barbeque Sauce 25
Steak (no cheese) 110 Franks Red Hot Buffalo Sauce 5
Tuna 250 Caesar 80
Veggie Patty 170 Creamy Siracha 40
Cheese Calories Honey Mustard 20
Pepper Jack 50 Lite Mayonnaise 50
Provolone 50 Mayonnaise 100
Swiss 50 MVP Parmesan Vinaigrette 70
















b) Create two different meal options that fit within your calorie safe zone. Each meal should contain two servings of protein, one serving of cheese and at least three condiments (one serving of each condiment).
Express each of them in an absolute value inequality to prove that it works. (Refer to Lesson 1-7 Absolute Value Equations and Inequalities-Algebra 1)
