Question

Why do you get less energy from 100 calories in celery, comparing to 100 calories in crisps?

Answer 1

Answer:

Calories and kilocalories

The term calorie is a commonly used shorthand for "kilocalorie". On food packets, you'll find this written as kcal.

Kilojoules (kJ) are the metric measurement of calories, and you'll see both kJ and kcal on nutrition labels: 4.2kJ is equivalent to approximately 1kcal.

Energy throughout the day

As part of a healthy, balanced diet, women need on average 8,400kJ a day (2,000kcal), while men need on average 10,500kJ a day (2,500kcal).

A rough guide to how your energy requirement can be spread throughout the day is as follows:

breakfast: 20% (a fifth of your energy intake)

lunch: 30% (about a third of your energy intake)

evening meal: 30% (about a third of your energy intake)

drinks and snacks: 20% (a fifth of your energy intake)

As you can see, any drinks or snacks you have count towards your daily energy total.

If you eat more for your breakfast, lunch or evening meal, you may need to drop a snack later in the day to stay on track.

SO STAY HEALTHY !!!!
