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.

There are 4 Calories (kcal, a thousand calories) / gram of carbohydrate (sugar, starch) or protein and 9 Cal (kcal)/ gram of oil or fat. One calorie (with a small "c") can raise the temperature of one gram (1 cubic centimetr = 1 milliliter) of water (at standard temperature and pressure) one degree centigrade. Cool, huh? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calorie...nd_food_labels I work better with a blackboard. Hmmm. These days I guess you would call it a white board. This is what I call the tar baby syndrome. The more you mess with it, the worse it gets. I wonder if it's too late to go back to bed? - Bill Cloribus gustibus non disputatum (mostly) |
