What is the meaning of the term "Calories" written on food packaging? By convention, one Calorie (C), with a capital C, that is used for food is equal to one kilocalorie. On your Activity Sheet, paste a label or cut-out portion from food packaging indicating the number of Calories. (If you have no packaging at home, you may invent and draw your own label.) Convert these Calories into kilocalories and calories.

Fructose and glucose are both monosaccharides, but the body metabolizesthese sugars differently. For example, glucose stimulates insulin releasefrom the pancreas (see section 28.4); fructose does not. Moreover, insulinstimulates leptin release. Finally, fructose is more likely than glucose tobe converted to fat. Use this information to propose an explanation for thecorrelation between the skyrocketing consumption of high fructose cornsyrup since 1970 and the rise in obesity during the same period.
Calculate the number of Calories (kilocalories) in a 2000‑ and a 2500‑Cal diet that should be obtained from protein. The daily values (DV) for fat and carbohydrates and the reference daily intake (RDI) for protein are given in the table. Keep in mind that fat contains 9 Cal/g, carbohydrates contain 4 Cal/g, and protein contains 4 Cal/g. Express your answers to two significant figures. Calories from protein in a 2000‑Cal diet: Calories from protein in a 2500‑Cal diet: Nutrient Daily value (2000‑Cal diet) Daily value (2500‑Cal diet) fat < 65 g < 80 g carbohydrates 300 g 375 g protein 50 g 50 g
