Solution

To calculate the total energy in Calories, we need to multiply the grams of each nutrient by their respective caloric values and then add them together.

For protein: 15 g * 4 Cal/g = 60 Cal

For carbohydrates: 33 g * 4 Cal/g = 132 Cal

For fat: 12 g * 9 Cal/g = 108 Cal

Then, add these values together: 60 Cal + 132 Cal + 108 Cal = 300 Cal

So, the cheeseburger contains 300 Calories. The correct answer is 300 Cal.
