2) Please order these from highest to lowest calorie per gram count.
---Carbohydrates
---Fat
---Alcohol
---Protein

3) Lets say you go to McDonalds for dinner. You get a Cheeseburger, Fries, and a drink (not diet). That would be about 42 Grams of fat, 143 Grams of Carbohydrates, 21 Grams of Protien. How many Calories is that? (You will be shocked)
