1 teaspoonf ul sugar weighs 0.16 ounce
J tablespoonf ul butter weighs 0.26 ounce
3J cupfuls flour weigh 14.0 ounces
Then,
From data of How the Fuel Value of a Food Material is
Measured (p. 358)
1 teaspoonful sugar yields (113 x 0.16 = ) 18.08 Calories
i tablespoonful butter yields (217.88 x 0.25 =) 64.47 Calories
3} cupfuls flour yield (100.98 x 14 = ) 1413.72 Calories
1 loaf of bread yields (18.08 + 64.47 +.1413. 72 =) 1486.27 Calories
For the practical method of calculating diet (see p. 373)
it is convenient to have the 100-Calorie portion of a recipe,
or a " made " food.
THE FUEL VALUE OF FOODS 363
The 100-Calorie portion of bread is estimated from the
above result in the following manner :
Since 1486.27 Calories are yielded by one loaf of homemade
bread✪ Homemade Bread, then 100 Calories are yielded by (100 -*- 1486.27 =)
.06 or 6 per cent of a loaf of homemade bread, hence -fa
(6 %) or 1 slice of homemade bread yields 100 Calories.
