(1993), "Counting Calories - Caveat Emptor," JAMA, v. 270, pp. 1454-1456. % % Authorization: Contact authors % Description: Results of a survey of 40 food items claiming to be "lite," "reduced-calorie," "low-calorie," "diet," "low-fat," "no-fat," or "health" foods. Each food is classified based on its distribution as either nationally advertised, regionally distributed, or locally prepared. % The researchers measured the caloric content of each food by bomb calorimetry, and converted these readings into an estimate of total metabolizable energy (the type of energy the calories on a food label are supposed to reflect). Finally, they calculated the percentage difference between the measured calories and the labeled calories for each item and per gram. % % Number of cases: 40 % Variable Names: % % Food: Kind of food % Per_gram: Percentage difference between measured calories and labeled calories per gram (100% x (measured-labeled)/labeled) % Per_item: Percentage difference between measured calories and labeled calories per item % Classification: N if nationally advertised, R if regionally distributed, L if locally prepared % @RELATION relation @ATTRIBUTE 'Food' {"Florentine manicotti","apricot bar","baba ghanoush with salad","banana cake","blondie","blue cheese dressing","brownie","butterscotch bar","carrot muffin","cereal","cheese","cheese curls","chinese chicken","chocolate chip cookie","chocolate mousse","chocolate pudding","crackers","crumb cake","egg foo young","fig bars","granola bar","green beans","gyoza","hummus with salad","imperial chicken","jelly diet candy-fruit flavor","jelly diet candy-reds flavor","lasagna","lemon pound cake","lentil soup","meatless sandwich","mixed fruits","noodles and alfredo sauce","oat bran snack bar","oatmeal cookie","oatmeal raisin cookie","pasta with shrimp and tomato sauce","sausage biscuit","spread cheese","vegetable soup"} @ATTRIBUTE 'Per_gram' numeric @ATTRIBUTE 'Per_item' numeric @ATTRIBUTE 'Classification' {"L","N","R"} @DATA 'noodles and alfredo sauce','-2',2,'N' 'cheese curls','-1','-28','N' 'green beans','-4.5','-6','N' 'mixed fruits',4,8,'N' 'cereal',5,6,'N' 'fig bars','-12','-1','N' 'oatmeal raisin cookie',1,10,'N' 'crumb cake',9,13,'N' 'crackers',10,15,'N' 'blue cheese dressing','-6','-4','N' 'imperial chicken','-6','-4','N' 'vegetable soup','-17','-18','N' 'cheese',7,10,'N' 'chocolate pudding',4,5,'N' 'sausage biscuit','-4',3,'N' 'lasagna','-11','-7','N' 'spread cheese',14,3,'N' 'lentil soup','-1','-0.5','N' 'pasta with shrimp and tomato sauce','-10.5','-10','N' 'chocolate mousse',2,6,'N' 'meatless sandwich',42,41,'R' 'oatmeal cookie',38,46,'R' 'lemon pound cake','-16',2,'R' 'banana cake',5,25,'R' 'brownie',11,39,'R' 'butterscotch bar',7,16.5,'R' 'blondie',12,17,'R' 'oat bran snack bar',21,28,'R' 'granola bar','-13','-3','R' 'apricot bar',13,14,'R' 'chocolate chip cookie',16,34,'R' 'carrot muffin',40,42,'R' 'chinese chicken',?,15,'L' 'gyoza',?,60,'L' 'jelly diet candy-reds flavor',?,250,'L' 'jelly diet candy-fruit flavor',?,145,'L' 'Florentine manicotti',?,6,'L' 'egg foo young',?,80,'L' 'hummus with salad',?,95,'L' 'baba ghanoush with salad',?,3,'L'
