Calories in Food Lab

    In this lab, we were to calculate how many calories three types of food contained. To do so, using measurements for the cashew, pecan, and cheese puff for both after being burned and before was essential. Also a constant 22 degrees for water was established. After the water was burned, the temperature of the water was measured to calculate the change in temperature. At the end, cashew was found to contain 960 calories, Pecan to be 1450 calories, and cheese puffs to be 350.
