A calorie is actually a technical term that describes the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1 degree centigrade at atmospheric pressure.

Having said that, we commonly use the term to mean how much energy we can get in a specific food.

Trans fat is a type of fat that is usually made from vegetable fat or unsaturated fat. Manufacturers force addional hydrogen into the structure of unsaturated fat and turn it into saturated fat or the type of fat found in meat. Trans fat is a more aggressive fat in causing heart and blood vessel diseases. It is commonly found in manufactured products such as cookies, cake, margarine and many others. Manufacturers like to use this fat because it increases the shelf life of food -- in other words -- makes food last longer without turning bad tasting.

Trans fat as well as other fat contains calories and that is how they are connected.

If a product has 200 calories per serving and 100 calories from fat then the percent of calories from fat would reveal that the product is 50 calories from fat and potentially an unhealthy choice 50 c?

To calculate the percentage of calories from fat, you divide the calories from fat (100 calories) by the total calories per serving (200 calories) and then multiply by 100. This results in 50% of the calories coming from fat. A product with such a high percentage of calories from fat may be considered less healthy, especially if it contains saturated or trans fats. However, it's important to consider the overall nutritional profile and context of the diet before making a judgment.
