CARBOHYDRATES are found primarily in plant-based foods and are a major source of energy in the body (4 kcals per gram).  If you consumed 200 grams of carbohydrate in a day, how many kcals would this convert to?

The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends us to limit "free sugar" intake to no more than 5 % of the total daily Calories consumed. Sugars like sucrose are considered "free sugars" and provide about 4 Calories per gram. If an individual consumes 2000 Calories in a day, what is the maximum amount of sugar they are advised to take in? How does this amount compare to the added sugars found in popular soft drinks?

Let’s assume that a gallon of gasoline contains pure octane (C 8H 18) and has a density of 0.700 g/mL. When octane is burned, it releases 1,303 kcal/mol of energy. How many kilocalories of energy are released from burning one gallon of gasoline?
