that generated a hypothetical
watt-hour of electricity
contains 0.86 Calories of energy
a sugarcube, ten times that
(ten drops of gas)
an egg, 100 times (100 drops)
(you burn this much energy in an hour
just sitting)
a bowl of Oreo-flavored breakfast cereal
or a cup of whole milk, 150
(an hour at the computer)
a 16oz soda 200
a Krispy Kreme, a Dove Bar, or a cup of rice(!?) 300
(an hour walking)
a Big Mac, a large fries, or a large shake, 600
(an hour jogging or biking)
a cup of roasted nuts, 1000
(an hour racing)
a cup of peanut butter, 2000
a pound of waistline fat, 4000
a cup of 2800 drops of gasoline
equals 2400 calories
a cup of sugar about 800 calories
so 3 cups sugar = 1 cup of gas
