Answer:

302 calories

Step-by-step explanation:

Since a Calorie raises the temperature of 1 kilogram (1 liter) of water by 1 degree, the calorie count is found by calculating the change in temperature of the water multiplied by the volume of water.

But in this case since its grams, to convert a gram measurement to a calorie measurement, multiply the weight by the conversion ratio. The weight in calories is equal to the grams multiplied by 7.716179.
