The Perfect Diet

[Michael]

The "434kJ per 50g serving" is the amount of energy you get from eating the ice cream, not what it takes to heat it up.

I know, that is what I am saying. The amount of heat out is way more than that required to heat it up. Contrary to what you were claiming (albeit jokingly).

From what I remember, yes, food calories are different. I could be wrong, but that seems right to me.

Yup, there are 4 different calories,
International Steam Table, 4.1868 J
thermochemical, 4.184 J
kilogram, International Steam Table, 4.1868 kJ
kilogram, thermochemical, 4.184 kJ
Obviously they are using a kilogram based calorie. This is just another good reason to use SI units.

You guys, honestly, do I really need to start adding [sarcasm][/sarcasm] tags to my engineering jokes? The world is getting more gullible every day...

Aw, don't be sore Oz , just because I disproved your nice little curioso... Keep the engibeering jokes coming though, I for one enjoy them.


btw, I knew it wasn't latent heat of melting, it is latent heat of fusion

Hehe. And no, Ozrat, you don't need to tag [/sarcasm] at the end of jokes. It was just a good opportunity for me to post, is all.[/useless post of DOOM]
