n athletic need huge source of energy everyday. He was asked to choose one of the following meals :
1. Sweet potatoes , broccoli and an apple
2. Pasta , peas and banana
Which of the above is the best source of energy (carbs) ? Explain ?
Q.2/ Explain why honey does not spoil?
Q.3/ calculate the calories present in the following meal?

One food calorie = 1 X 103 calories = 1 kcal. A typical adult ingests about 2200 food calories per day. (A) show that an adult uses energy at about the same rate as a 100-W light bulb. {B) Calculate the total annual metabolic energy expenditure of the 6 X 109 people on the earth and compare it with the 4 X 1020 J per year energy used by the world economy. Assume all persons consume 2200 food calories per day, which is obviously incorrect.
