Food labels worksheet - Free Printable

Let’s go through each question one by one, using the nutrition labels provided.

Question 1: How many calories would you take in if you ate the whole box of crackers in one sitting?

- The label says: Serving Size = 2 crackers, and Servings Per Container = About 21
- Calories per serving = 60
- So total calories = 60 × 21 = 1260

✔ Answer for Q1: 1260

Question 2: If you ate 2 servings of crackers, how many grams of carbohydrates would you get?

- Total Carbohydrate per serving = 10g
- For 2 servings: 10g × 2 = 20g

✔ Answer for Q2: 20

---

Question 3: If each gram of carbohydrates provides 4 calories, how many calories would you take in by eating 2 servings of crackers?

- From Q2, 2 servings = 20g carbs
- Each gram = 4 calories → 20 × 4 = 80 calories from carbs

But wait — this is asking for *total* calories from eating 2 servings? Or just from carbs?

Looking at the question: “how many calories would you take in by eating 2 servings of crackers?” — it doesn’t specify “from carbs only”, but the sentence before mentions “each gram of carbohydrates provides 4 calories” — so likely they want the calorie contribution *from carbs only*.

Also, note: the actual total calories for 2 servings would be 60 × 2 = 120. But since the question gives us the carb-to-calorie conversion, it’s testing that calculation.

So we’ll go with: 20g carbs × 4 cal/g = 80 calories

✔ Answer for Q3: 80

Question 4: If fat provides 9 calories per gram, how many calories would you get by eating 2 servings?

- Fat per serving = 1.5g
- For 2 servings: 1.5g × 2 = 3g fat
- 3g × 9 cal/g = 27 calories from fat

Again, same logic as Q3 — they’re asking for calories *from fat*, not total calories.

✔ Answer for Q4: 27

Now let’s look at the Chicken Noodle Soup label.

Question 5: If you were to eat the entire can of soup, how much sodium would you consume?

- Serving size = 1/2 cup (120 ml)
- Servings per container = about 2.5
- Sodium per serving = 860mg
- Total sodium = 860mg × 2.5 = ?

Calculate:
860 × 2 = 1720
860 × 0.5 = 430
Total = 1720 + 430 = 2150 mg

✔ Answer for Q5: 2150

Question 6: If the recommended amount of sodium for someone with high blood pressure is 1500 mg/day, how much more than the recommended amount is present in this entire can?

- Entire can = 2150 mg (from Q5)
- Recommended = 1500 mg
- Difference = 2150 - 1500 = 650 mg more

✔ Answer for Q6: 650

Question 7: How many servings of soup would I need to consume 20% of my daily requirement of fiber?

First, find daily requirement for fiber.

Look at bottom of soup label:

> Dietary Fiber: Less than 25g (for 2000 cal diet) → so daily value = 25g

20% of 25g = 0.20 × 25 = 5g

Now, how much fiber per serving? Label says: Dietary Fiber 1g per serving

So to get 5g, you need 5 servings.

✔ Answer for Q7: 5

Question 8: How many calories would that be?

“That” refers to the 5 servings from Q7.

Calories per serving = 60

5 servings × 60 = 300 calories

✔ Answer for Q8: 300
