The result provides the energy content in nutritional calories which is commonly used for food labeling and measurements.

Parameter usage:

• grams= mass in grams
• density= density of the substance

Example valid values:

• grams= 100
• density= 2

Output:

• energy= energy in calories

Data validation

The mass in grams and density should be greater than zero.

Summary

This converter can be used to determine the energy in calories from the given mass and density of a substance. It is commonly used in nutritional and food science applications.
