What does grams mean in health?

In health terms, what is a gram and what is its function? I need to know for my health class in high school.

Answer #1

Grams is a measurement. It’s not something that directly effects your health. Your question really doesn’t make sense.

Answer #2

thats what my teacher said we needed to know. but he does not really make sense a lot of the time either :/

Answer #3

That means if you know how many grams of each one are in a food, you can calculate the total calories. You would multiply the number of grams by the number of calories in a gram of that food component. For example, if a serving of potato chips (about 20 chips) has 10 grams of fat, 90 calories are from fat. That’s 10 grams X 9 calories per gram.
