i had to do a lab in chemistry where we find out the amount of calories in junk food and we compare it to what the company claims it has ..
for cheetos i found out that there's about 3.6 cal per gram. i looked at the nutritional facts and the label says that there are 5 cal per gram. i was just wondering whether the label's value was in cal or kcal .. if it is in cal, then my calculation came pretty close .. i just have to take the experimental design flaws into consideration to justify why the values are not identical .. however, if the value 5 was in kcal, then my calculations are just totally off.
same goes for kitkat and ruffles << the other two food samples we tested.
ive read on a site that most of the time, the amount of calories on food labels are in kcal. i just want to make sure if that is the case for every single one of them.
i hope the values are in cal and NOT kcal. coz that means my calculations are pretty close >.<
thanks in advance!!
