The energy stored in foods and fuels is potential energy?
the energy stored in foods and fuels is blank potential energy?
Nutritionists use what to measure how much energy you get from foods?
Traditionally, this was measured in calories, or Calories (equal to 1000 calories - note the uppercase!). But the tendency is to use the official unit of energy - the Joule. This is the same unit that is used to measure any type of energy.
A device used to calculate the amount of heat energy stored in foods?
the device used to measure specific heat is called a joule
How much energy is there in canteen foods?

More exactly, all foods release energy when we use them in respiration, and this energy can be measured in kilojoules.
How do you test for energy in foods?
Set them on fire and measure the heat they produce. Seriously. That's how it's done.
How does an experiment of burning food relate to metbolism?
A caloriemeter measures the energy content in specific foods. This is then calculated with certain formulas that take the energy availablefor the body into account.
