Caloric Density Formula
The following formula is used to calculate the Caloric Density.
Dc = 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)
How to Calculate Caloric Density?
The following example problems outline how to calculate Caloric Density.
Example Problem #1:
- First, determine the calories per serving (kcal/serving).
- The calories per serving (kcal/serving) is given as: 100.
- Next, determine the total weight of the serving (g).
- The total weight of the serving (g) is provided as: 4.
- Finally, calculate the Caloric Density using the equation above:
Dc = C / W
The values given above are inserted into the equation below:
Dc = 100 / 4 = 25 (kcal/g)
Example Problem #2:
For this problem, the variables needed are provided below:
calories per serving (kcal/serving) = 600
total weight of the serving (g) = 20
This example problem is a test of your knowledge on the subject. Use the calculator above to check your answer.
Dc = C / W = ?
