They breakdown the food to its simplest form then place it in a metal cup which is in a water box. After they place the cup in the water they take the temperature of the water (Tinitial). When they have the temperature of the water they ignite the food and check the temperature after the fire(Tfinal). Then they use the equation

q=Masswater x specific heatwaterx ΔTwater

(q=Heat in calories or joules) (T=temperature) (ΔTwater=Tfinal-Tinitial) (spefic heat of water= 4.18 J/g °C) (Masswater= Mass of water in box - mass of box w/o water)

(joules to calore conversion 1 calorie=4.184 Joules)

Suppose a portion of food is twice the amount of service as listed on a food label how do you determine how many calories are in a person?

To determine the calories in a portion of food that is twice the amount listed on a food label, simply take the calories per serving stated on the label and multiply that number by two. For example, if the label indicates 200 calories per serving, then a portion that is twice the serving size would contain 400 calories. This method can be applied to any macronutrient or food item by using the relevant serving size information.

There are no differences between "calories" and "Food Calories" when it comes to measurement; they refer to the same unit of energy. Therefore, 732.0 calories is equivalent to 732.0 Food Calories. In dietary terms, Food Calories are often denoted with a capital "C" (Cal) to distinguish them from small calories (cal), with 1 Food Calorie (Cal) equal to 1,000 small calories (cal). Thus, 732.0 calories equals 732.0 Food Calories.
