Caloric Density Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the Caloric Density (Dc) is:

\[ Dc = \frac{C}{W} \]

Where:

\( Dc \) is the Caloric Density (kcal/g)
\( C \) is the Calories per Serving (kcal/serving)
\( W \) is the Total Weight of One Serving (g)

Caloric Density Definition

Caloric density refers to the number of calories in a given weight of food. It is calculated by dividing the calories per serving by the weight per serving. This metric helps in understanding the energy content of food relative to its weight.

Example Calculation

Let's consider an example:

Calories per Serving (C): 250 kcal
Total Weight of One Serving (W): 100 g

Using the formula to calculate the Caloric Density:

\[ Dc = \frac{250}{100} = 2.5 \, \text{kcal/g} \]

This demonstrates that with 250 kcal per serving and a serving weight of 100 g, the caloric density would be 2.5 kcal/g.
