Purpose: A. Carbohydrates: Food Nutrient Label Lab 1. To calculate the number of carbohydrate, protein and fat calories. 2. To calculate the percentage of calories coming from carbohydrates, proteins and fats compared to the total calories in each serving. 1. Choose at least 4 food labels found around the room, and study each food label. 2. Start by subtracting the number of fiber grams from the carbohydrate gram number. This jone because we can't digest fiber (fiber is cellulose, which is a carbohydrate). 3. Take the new carbohydrate number (digestible carbohydrates), and multiply by 4 because each gram of carbohydrates contains 4 calories. This number tells us how many calories in the food are from carbohydrates. 4. Take the number from step 3 (calories from carbs), and divide it by the total number of calories in the food. Next, change the decimal number to a percent number by multiplying by 100 or by moving the decimal point to the right and adding a % sign. Now you have the percent of calories of the food coming from carbohydrates. Example: 27 grams of carbohydrates +_2 grams of fiber “25 grams of digestible carbohydrates 25g X 4 Calories per gram = 100 Calories of carbohydrates Total calories (counting carbs, fats, proteins) = 200 Calories ‘% of Calories from carbohydrates: 100 / 200 = .50 X 100 = 50% Carbohydrate Data Table Carbohydrate | Carbohydrate Product Name Cree Catone Total Calories | % of Carbohydrate Calories Toine's as, 34g x4 7 View 4, . a, [Beocar 8550 = BB% Pop tarts O%e, 6 Boxes | 420 Tas ; By Son2 tal Cal AA20¢01* G5%. | va \ ui ee 4 lax UC loc mae \6c Goe foe 2 21% Rate Bite |20 2iq-ue= “ues \ BUC, " 4 a ae 806 Agoc* U7, Toast TasMe a atu P Tears | 379 i ae Poe Sivas * MH a7 Tt 1.
