Cant work out the calories in...
"Gordy" wrote in message
... I just finished off about a 5th of a 500ml tub of ben and jerrys phish food and now i wished i hadnt lol. its turning into a nightmare to work out how many calories it has in it. Its a 500ml tub but all the calorie information is per 100g (280 calories) :/ Any1 have any idea what roughly 100ml of this stuff is in calories? Gordy, 500ml is equal to 16.9 liquid ounces (US). For ice cream you can generally convert one-to-one between liquid and dry for ounces, making 16.9 ounces by weight for the tub. There are 28.35 grams per ounce, so the whole tub has 479 grams. One fifth is 95 grams, so if there are 280 calories per 100 grams, you have had 268 calories. Hope this helps. - Dewolla |

Gordy Have you scales you could weigh out 100ml of the stuff on? |

Roughly 100 ml of liquid food is 100 grams. Very close, maybe 97 or 103 or so. ???? Surely different foods will have different densities and therefore different masses for a given volume |

Surely different foods will have different densities and therefore different masses for a given volume That does not apply to edible liquids. We don't drink arsenic or gasoline, we drink solutions of fat and water and sugar. They are all reasonably close to 1 kg/l in density. Try it with your kitchen scale. i Interesting! You live and learn..... |

Very close, maybe 97 or 103 or so. ???? Surely different foods will have different densities and therefore different masses for a given volume not liquid foods. Think of a rootbeer float. The icecream might float, but not by much. Actually it seems to sink IIRC. It seems sort of pointless to contribute, but ice cream is made by _aerating_ the liquid. This means that a large proportion of the final product is air which is a lot less dense than liquid. For instance, I have an ice cream container here which holds 1.35L. It had 14 serves per pack at 57g per serve. Therefore, for this ice cream, 1.35L actually weighed about 800g. So as you can see, the density of this brand is about 600g per L which is a hell of a lot less dense than water. Rowena. |
