Question

While shopping, you settle on two types of cookies. The nutritional label for the chocolate mint cookies lists 5 grams of saturated fat, 0 grams of trans fat, 22 grams of carbohydrates, and 11 grams of protein per serving. The nutritional label for the peanut butter cookies lists 0 grams of saturated fat, 5 grams of trans fat, 26 grams of carbohydrates, and 4 grams of protein per serving.
Calculate the total amount of calories for each cookie and then tell which cookie is less healthy and why. (look up on the internet how many calories per gram are found in fat, carbohydrates and protein to get the answer)
