If there are 330 calories in 100 grams how many calories are in 15 ml 1 tablespoon?

Answer 1

A calorie is a unit of energy and is not measured in weight itself. Im not sure who said that 330 calories are in 100 grams but that is an incorrect statement. The fact is the amount of calories in a gram depends on what the gram is. For example, there are 4 calories in 1 gram of protein, 4 calories in 1 gram of carbohydrates, and roughly 9 calories in 1 gram of fat. So that being said there are 400 calories in 100 grams of protein or 100 grams of carbohydrates not 330. To figure out how many calories are in a 15 ml 1 tablespoon you would have to find out the nutrient contents of the tablespoon such as how much protein, carbs, and fat there is.

Example:

If your 1 tablespoon had 3 grams of protein, 4 grams of carbs, and 1 gram of fat you would then have 37 calories in your 15ml tablespoon.

(3g protein x 4cal)+(4g carbs x 4cal)+(1g fat x 9cal)=37 calories
