After reviewing the food labels on the following items -- Beef Broth (Shop Rite), Cap'n Crunch (Quaker Oats co.), and Ridges Chips (Wise) -- I was able note the nutritional values of these foods. the Beef Broth was in full 2 servings. In all it had 40 calories, 910 mg of sodium, and 4 gram of protein. My calculations game me these results as percentages; 0% cal from fat, 0% cal from carbohydrates, and 4% cal from protein. After comparing this to the other items, it turned out that Beef Broth has the least vitamins/nutrients, the least %cal form fat and carbohydrates, but the most %cal from protein.
Now for the second item, Cap'n Crunch. In all, there were 14 servings in the item's container. It consisted of 1400 calories, 1.5 grams of fat, 1 gram of saturated fat, 190 mg of sodium, 22 grams of carbohydrates, 1 gram of dietary fiber, and 1 gram of protein. After calculating the percentages, I got the percent of calories from fat, carbohydrates and protein. The calories from fat was .009%. The calories from carbohydrates was .06%. Finally the calories from protein were .002%. After comparing these results with the other items, I determined that Cap'n Crunch has the 2nd most calories from fat, the most calories from carbohydrates, the least cal from protein, and the 2nd most vitamins/nutrients.
Finally, here are the values of Ridges potato chips. These chips in all had 10 servings. Overall the Ridges had 1,500 calories, 10 grams of fat, 3 grams of saturated fat, 160 mg of sodium, 14 grams of carbohydrates, 1 gram of dietary fiber, and 2 grams of protein. After doing calculations, I got these results; Ridges had .06% calories from fat, .037% calories from carbohydrates, and .005% calories from protein. In comparison to the other items, Ridges contained the most nutrients, the most calories from fat, the second most calories from protein, and the second most calories from carbohydrates
