Does anyone know how the number of calories in a food or drink is
arrived at. How is the measurement made.

4 Cal (kcal) / gram of carbohydrate (sugar, starch, or protein) and 9
Cal (kcal)/ gram of oil or fat. One Calorie can raise the temperature of
one gram (1 cubic milliliter) of water one degree Centigrade. Cool, huh?
