Answer 1

Calculate the food energy (joules/g) of one of your food samples. one chemistry calorie is equal to 4.186 joules. convert the energy you calculated to kilojoules (1 kj = 1000 j). since nothing is given, an example is avocadoes have 160 cal/100 g serving

(160 cal/ 100 g)(4.186 J/ 1 cal) (1 kJ/1000 J) = 0.0067 kJ/g
