Next time you're in a grocery store, check out the calorie counts on a few items, some "healthy" iteams and some "junk" items. That total number of calories are based on these numbers:
1 gram of fat: 9 calories
1 gram of carbohydrates: 4 calories
1 gram of protein: 4 calories
Think about that the next time you pick up a snack cake at the 7-11. Example:
A honeybun: 1 serving: 510 calories
grams of fat: 40 (360 calories)
grams of carbs: 25 (100 calories)
grams of protein: 12 (48 calories)
Total calories (roundd off): 510 calories
If most of the calories are coming from fat, I'd think again about that bun, no matter how tasty it is.
Think about those numbers (9,4,4) the next time you're at the grocery store. What you find might suprise you.
