Dietary fiber provides minimal energy to the body, typically around 1 to 2 calories per gram, depending on its type and fermentability. While fiber is not fully digestible, soluble fibers can be fermented by gut bacteria, yielding short-chain fatty acids that can be utilized for energy. In contrast, insoluble fiber passes through the digestive system largely intact and contributes little to energy intake. Overall, the caloric contribution of fiber is significantly lower than that of carbohydrates, fats, or proteins.

How much energy in a gram of starch?

A gram of starch provides approximately 4 calories (or about 17 kilojoules) of energy. Starch is a carbohydrate that the body breaks down into glucose, which can be used for immediate energy or stored for later use. The exact energy yield can vary slightly based on the specific type of starch and its digestibility.


How much more energy is released from burning 1g of natural gas compared to burning 1g of wood?

Burning 1 gram of natural gas typically releases about 13.6 kilojoules of energy, while burning 1 gram of wood releases approximately 15.5 kilojoules. This means that, contrary to the initial assumption, wood actually releases more energy per gram than natural gas. Therefore, natural gas releases about 2 kilojoules less energy per gram compared to wood.

How much energy is transfered when 1gm of boiling water at 100c condenses to water at 100c?

When 1 gram of boiling water at 100°C condenses to water at the same temperature, it releases energy in the form of latent heat of vaporization. The latent heat of vaporization for water is approximately 2260 joules per gram. Therefore, when 1 gram of steam condenses, about 2260 joules of energy is transferred to the surroundings.

How much dietary fiber is too much?

There's no such thing as too much fiber provided that you're eating the whole foods which contain the fiber. You will get the ideal amount of fiber with the ideal amount of water to flush it, the ideal amount of protein (~10% of calories), the ideal amount of protein (~10%.) All plants have fiber. Animal products do not have fiber.
