If Energy released by metabolising 1g of carbohydrate (17 kJ) was a standard unit ...

  • Recommended daily food energy intake for a woman (8.4 MJ)...more would be 500 x Energy released by metabolising 1g of carbohydrate
  • Energy in boiling a kettle (672 kJ)...more would be 40 x Energy released by metabolising 1g of carbohydrate
  • Energy released by metabolising 1g of protein (17 kJ)...more would be about as big as Energy released by metabolising 1g of carbohydrate
  • Energy released by exploding 1g of TNT (4.2 kJ)...more would be 1/4 of Energy released by metabolising 1g of carbohydrate
  • Energy in 1 food Calorie (kcal) (4.2 kJ)...more would be 1/4 of Energy released by metabolising 1g of carbohydrate
  • Energy in an Olympic Hammer throw (3.4 kJ)...more would be 1/5 of Energy released by metabolising 1g of carbohydrate
