estimate_energy_intake_from_g_cho(g_cho, f_cho, cho_energy_density=4)

Estimates the total energy intake from given grams of carbohydrates, carbohydrate fraction, and carbohydrate energy density.

Parameters: - g_cho: float

Grams of carbohydrates.

• f_cho: float

  Fraction of energy intake from carbohydrates.

• cho_energy_density: float, optional

  Energy density of carbohydrates in kilocalories per gram. Default is set to glucose_energy_density_kcal_per_g.

Returns: - float

Estimated total energy intake in kilocalories.
