One gram of sugar contains 3.87 calories, so multiply the grams of sugar by 3.87 (or just 4 if you're not looking to be that precise).

Question

How do I find out the amount of calories in a package of food?

Community Answer

Most packaged foods have nutrition facts on them. Look for a white rectangle with black text on it. Usually it will be on the back of a package of food or the side, if it is a box. There is a lot of information but calories is usually near the top.

There is no conversion factor, because the % DV of one mineral could be very different from that of another mineral.
