Video Transcript

"Hi. I'm Brenda Thompson, a Registered Dietitian and owner of Life Skills Nutrition. In this segment, I'm going to talk about calories and calories from fat. If you look on this food label, this label tells us that there are one hundred and twenty calories. Calories total the total number of fat, the total number of carbohydrates, and the total number of proteins. How the one-hundred and twenty is figured is that the total number of fat (nine calories are in one gram)...so if you take the 3.5 grams times the nine calories, you get thirty-two calories from fat. And up here, you'll see that it says calories from fat equals thirty-five. Manufacturers can round that up to a nice figure, which i s what this company did. So, they rounded it up to thirty-five, when actually it is thirty-two. As long as it's not under, it's fine. Total carbohydrate is twenty grams. There are four calories per gram of carbohydrate. So here, we took twenty times four and that means we are getting eighty calories from carbohydrate. When you look at protein, there are four. Just like carbohydrate, there are also four calories per gram of protein. So you take the two grams times the four calories and you get eight calories. When you add up all of these (the eight, plus the eighty, plus the thirty-two), then you get one hundred and twenty calories. And that is how the manufacturers come up with the total number of calories on the food label."
