Question

what might explain the differences in the caloric content of the different foods you tested? for examples, why did the honeycomb cereal have a different amount of calories/gram than the pecan? this about this at a molecular level... what might explain the differences in their caloric content?

Answer 1

Foods have different caloric content based on the amount of each nutrient it contains and also on the molecular construction.

Another reason foods have varying caloric content is that the energy-supplying nutrients provide varying amounts of energy per gram. Fats give us the most energy. Proteins both provide 4 calories per gram of energy. A tablespoon of raw honey has 64 calories and 16 g of sugar. A handful of pecans (about 19 halves) is an excellent source of fiber, thiamin, zinc, copper, and manganese. One ounce of pecans contains 200 calories.

The caloric content of food is affected by the number of proteins, fats carbohydrates, etc it contains. Foods have different calorie levels because the energy-providing nutrients supply different amounts of energy per gram. Caloric content in the food at the molecular level depends on the amount of energy various plants and animals produce while they intake their nutrients.
