    The energy intake from food is measured in Calories (Cal). It is to be distinguished from the calorie (with a small 'c'), which is also frequently used in technical publications. The Calorie is equal to 1 kilocalorie. The conversion formula between the Calorie and the Joule is:

    1 Cal = 4184 Joules

    Step-by-step explanation:

    First let's find the total energy intake from the candy bar:

    E = 2 * 1.2 10^6

    J = 2.4 * 10^6 J.

    And the total energy intake from the soft drink is:

    E = 3 * 6.7 * 10^5

    J = 2.01 * 10^6 J.

    The total energy consumed is:

    E = 2.01 * 10^6 + 2.4 * 10^6

    J = 4.41 * 10^6 J.

    The person is on a 2000 Cal diet. This converts to:

    2000 * 4184

    J = 8.368 * 10^6 J.

    The amount of energy intake left for broccoli, beans, beef, etc is:

    (8.368 - 4.41) * 10^6

    J = 3.958 * J.

    As a percentage of the total food intake, we can write this as:

    3.958/8.368 * 100% = 47.3%

    So now we got our final answer : 47.3%
