How many grams equal one carb?
A carbohydrate is food, like sugar or starch, that is high in energy. The body's preferred source of energy. this question is incoherent because there is no gram count that equals a carb. you can have a measure of carbs that is in the unit "grams." for example, on the side of many food containers (in fact, all food containers) under "nutrition facts." But if what you really want to ask is how many calories in one gram of carbohydrate, the answer is four. Four calories also in one gram of protein and nine calories in a gram of fat. Gram is a measurement of weight. Carbohydrate is a molecule, a food. When a low-carb recipe or product advertises that it contains "3 carbs" or "5 carbs," they're usually talking about net grams, that is, grams of carbohydrate minus grams of fiber. I carbohydrate choice is equal to 15 grams.
How many calories are in a food that contains 20 grams of carbohydrate 8 grams protein and 5 grams of fat?
Carbohydrates provide 4 calories per gram, protein provides 4 calories per gram, and fat provides 9 calories per gram. So, the total number of calories in the food would be (20 grams carbohydrate x 4) + (8 grams protein x 4) + (5 grams fat x 9) = 80 + 32 + 45 = 157 calories.
Do grams measure the amount of energy in food?
No, grams measure the weight or mass of a substance. The amount of energy in food is measured in calories or joules. The energy content is determined by the macronutrients (such as carbohydrates, proteins, and fats) present in the food.
The number of kilocalories in a food indicates the amount of what?
The number of kilocalories in a food indicates the amount of energy in the foods you eat.
What does the number of kilocalories in a food indicate the amount of?
The number of kilocalories in a food indicates the amount of energy in the foods you eat.
How is a the caloric value of a food sample determined?
The number of Calories in a food is determined by using an apparatus called a calorimeter. A sample is placed in a steel container within the calorimeter and water is added to fill a surrounding chamber. When the food burns, the heat released increases the temperature of the surrounding water. By calculating the heat in kilocalories (or Calories) absorbed by the water, we can determine the caloric content of the food. The caloric values are the kilocalories per gram of the three types of food: Carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. These values are listed below. Food Type Carbohydrate Fat (lipid) Protein Caloric value 4 kcal/1g 9 kcal/1g 4 kcal/1g If the composition of food is known in terms of the mass of each food type, the caloric content (the total number of Calories) can be calculated. Kilocalories= g x kcal/g Sample problem. How many kilocalories are in a piece of chocolate cake that contains 35g of carbohydrate, 10g of fat, and 5g of protein? Round the final answer to the nearest tens place. Carbohydrate: 35g x 4 kcal/1g = 140 kcal Fat: 10g x 9 kcal/1g = 90 kcal Protein: 5g x 4 kcal/1g = 20 kcal Total caloric content: 250 kcal
How many calories are in a food that contains 20 grams of carbohydrates?
Every gram of carbohydrate has 4 calories, so 20 grams of carbohydrates would be 80 calories. But you also have to take into account the amount of protein and fat grams in the food, as well. Protein has the same amount of calories as carbohydrates (4 calories per gram) and fat has 9 calories per gram.
