Guest guest Posted October 25, 2001 Report Share Posted October 25, 2001 Good question, Steve. Did s/he mean 16cal/tsp instead of gram? I looked it up at the Nutrition Analysis Tool...those numbers are waaaayyyy off. Maybe it is a scare tactic? Food 1: PEANUT BUTTER-SMOOTH STYLE-W/SALT - 1 grams Food 2: CRACKER BARREL NATURAL CHEESE-CHEDDAR MARBLED SHARP - 1 grams Nutrients Food 1 Food 2 Calories 5.88 3.93 Protein grams 0.25 0.25 Fat grams 0.5 0.32 Carbohydrates grams 0.21 0 Sodium mg 4.78 6.43 Vitamin A IU 0 10.71 Vitamin C mg 0 0 Saturated Fat grams 0.1 0.21 Cholesterol mg 0 1.07 http://www.nat.uiuc.edu/mainnat.html -maria > Note, also, some mis-information: > > " At three months, the patient needs to become aware of the calories > per gram of different foods to be aware of " the cost " of each gram. > (cheddar cheese is 16 cal/gram; peanut butter is 24 cals/gram).
