  1. Health Day A / B Calories

  2. Calorie • The amount of energy in food is measured in calories • Which foods have the most calories?

  3. Calories in Food • Per 1 gram • Protein - 4 calories • Carbohydrate – 4 calories • Fat – 9 Calories • Food label Check Activity • Serving size 1 Bar = 55 grams • Servings per container = 5 • Carbohydrates = 28 grams • Fats = 7 grams • Protein = 15 grams

  4. Empty Calorie • A calorie with no extra benefits such as amino acids, fatty acids, fiber, vitamins, and minerals • Example • Table sugar • A diet that mainly consists of empty calories can causes a person to be malnourished
