    1 food calorie = 4.184 Joules of energy

    If you eat one serving of those chips, then

    the metabolizing (burning) of all that fat and

    salt and carbohydrate in your body produces

    (100 x 4.184) = 418.4 joules of energy.

    That's the work required to lift a 100-lb weight about 3 feet off the floor.
