### C. Food Calories#### Materials:- Food products with nutrition data on labels#### Instructions:**C.1** Obtain a food product that has a Nutrition Facts label. Indicate the serving size.**C.2** List the grams of fat, carbohydrate, and protein in one serving of the food.**C.3** From the mass of each food type, calculate the Calories (kcal) of each food type in one serving using the accepted caloric values.**C.4** Determine the total Calories (kcal) in one serving.**C.5** Compare your total to the Calories listed on the upper portion of the label. Usually, these totals are rounded to the nearest tens place.### Explanation:- **Accepted Caloric Values**: - Fat: 9 kcal per gram - Carbohydrate: 4 kcal per gram - Protein: 4 kcal per gram### Example:1. **Obtain a Food Product**: For example, a box of cereal.2. **List Grams**: - Fat: 5 grams - Carbohydrate: 20 grams - Protein: 5 grams3. **Calories Calculation**: - Fat: 5 grams x 9 kcal/gram = 45 kcal - Carbohydrate: 20 grams x 4 kcal/gram = 80 kcal - Protein: 5 grams x 4 kcal/gram = 20 kcal4. **Total Calories**: - 45 kcal (Fat) + 80 kcal (Carbohydrate) + 20 kcal (Protein) = 145 kcal per serving5. **Comparison**: - Check the calculated total (145 kcal) against the total calories listed on the product’s Nutrition Facts label. Adjust for rounding if necessary.This exercise helps in understanding how to read nutrition labels and manually calculate the caloric content of food items based on their macronutrient composition.
