Sugar can seem like a relatively low-calorie food until you consider how much of it is added to processed products. But unless you're already very familiar with cooking conversion rates, it can be difficult to tell how much of a particular ingredient or nutrient is in a product just by looking at a nutrition facts label. Nutrients in food labels are always listed in grams, which isn't helpful for figuring out how many tablespoons of something a product has -- or how many calories.
There are about 50 calories in one tablespoon of sugar.
To help decipher sugar in nutrition labels, start by learning to convert grams to calories. One gram of sugar has about 4 calories in it. To visualize how much that might be, think in terms of common kitchen measurements: teaspoons and tablespoons. One teaspoon of sugar is equivalent to 4 grams and about 16 calories.
Since there are 3 teaspoons in 1 tablespoon, that means 1 tablespoon of sugar is equivalent to 12 grams of sugar and a total of about 50 calories.
What about other types of sugar? Do they each have the same number of calories per tablespoon? In general, yes. Sugar that's mixed into processed foods to enhance their flavor or texture is called "added sugar." In ingredient lists, it may appear under names like dextrose, high-fructose corn syrup, maltose or evaporated cane juice.
According to the USDA, 1 tablespoon of high-fructose corn syrup has 14.5 grams of sugar and 53 calories. When compared to natural sweeteners, the numbers are similar. One tablespoon of agave nectar has about 14 grams of sugar and about 60 calories, and 1 tablespoon of pure maple syrup has 12 grams of sugar and 52 calories.
The American Heart Association recommends that women limit their added sugar consumption to about 100 calories per day, which is 2 tablespoons of sugar. For men, the recommended limit is 150 calories per day, or 3 tablespoons. However, the AHA asserts that most Americans get about 20 teaspoons of added sugar per day, which is almost 7 tablespoons and about 320 calories.
Now that you know how to calculate how many calories you're getting each day from sugar, you can use the information you find on nutrition labels to help choose lower-sugar foods and move toward making healthy changes in your diet.

In PowerPoint you have a couple of ways to work smarter and automatically resize pictures as you insert them into the presentation. You can use the Slide Master to create individual slides with pictures on them. Or, you can use the Photo Album tool to insert several pictures, all at once, and have them automatically sized the way you want. The Photo Album tool is ideal for larger sets of pictures while the Slide Master works with one image at a time, as you need it.
Open the PowerPoint presentation where you want to insert the pictures.
Click the "View" tab and then click "Slide Master."
Choose the layout you want to edit from the slide pane. For example, select the "Picture with Caption" layout.
Select the picture placeholder and adjust the size of the placeholder by dragging the handles at its edges. When you're done, click "Close Master View."
Click the "Home" tab and click the arrow under "New Slide." Choose the layout you modified in the Slide Master view.
Click the picture icon in the placeholder on the new slide.
Browse to the location of the image you want to insert. Double-click the image to insert it. PowerPoint automatically sizes it to the placeholder.
Open a new, blank PowerPoint presentation.
Click the "Insert" tab on the ribbon.
Click the arrow under "Photo Album" in the Images section and then click "New Photo Album." A dialog box will appear.
Click "File/Disk" and browse to the location of the photos you want in your album. Press "Ctrl-A" to select all of the photos or hold "Ctrl" and click the individual photos you want to insert in the album. Click "Insert."
Select the layout and frame shape from the drop-down lists in the Album Layout section and then click "Create." Depending on the number of pictures, it can take several minutes to create the album.
You can add, remove and edit the pictures in your photo album at any time.

OUR STAFF REPORTER LAHORE-Former President of PML-Q, Mian Azhar has confessed that it was his political mistake to side with General Musharraf in 1999, who acted against the agenda he gave to the nation to set the things right. Speaking at Waqt TVs programme, 'Barwaqt on Friday, he said that Tariq Aziz entangled Musharraf in corrupts net, which deviated the general from his 7-point agenda. He predicted that PML-Q had no future, while PPP and PML-N had also lost their credibility. He also realized his mistake of taking ticket from the PML-Q to contest 2008 general elections. Azhar said if the politicians will promote corruption, army will have to step in to control the situation. He alleged that PML-Q was partner in massacre of innocent people at Lal Masjid and signing of NRO deal with the PPP. He asked MQM to control target killings in Karachi and then come to Punjab. He saw upsets in the coming elections and advent of an interim government headed by technocrats.

The Eating Media Lunch team picks over the year's most shocking and memorable moments and dishes out its annual awards including the highly coveted New Zealander of the Year.
Power, politics and the plummeting fortunes of the rich and famous dominate this season's Eating Media Lunch.
The award winning (Best comedy, Qantas Film and TV Awards 2008) media satire show turns its attention to the pursuit of power around the world.
"Everybody knows that power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. I'm not sure how that applies in this situation but it sounds like a good quote and makes me sound like I know what I'm talking about" says presenter Jeremy Wells.
EML has gone global to observe the King of Tonga's majestic coronation and the media who parachuted in to cover it.
From religious conservatives in one of the poorest countries of the world Wells then mingles with even more religious conservatives at the Republican National Convention.
"It was like The Hajj of the hard right. Every Republican old and young was there to whoop and holler in the name of conservatism. Even dead Republican Presidents showed up in spirit."
Closer to home, EML is on the election campaign trail with an array of candidates and an unconventional focus group.
"Obviously New Zealand is an inconsequential shithole but we thought we'd cover our elections out of sympathy. Also, it was a chance to rack up some more air-points".
It's not so much fear and loathing as trepidation and antipathy, observes Wells.
"Many candidates, and I don't want to name names, they know who they are, simply refused to front up for EML."
Rounding off the season EML dissects the year's extraordinary events with The Most Shocking Moments of 2008 and the announcement of the coveted New Zealander of the year award.

Growing up, the '90s era Chicago White Sox were my life. In fact, some of my earliest memories involve going to the then newly opened Comiskey Park with my dad to watch Frank Thomas, Bo Jackson and Robin Ventura smash balls into the ocean blue bleachers. So, you can imagine how excited I was to be invited to compete in FanDuel's WFBC Home Run Derby in Las Vegas—which featured Bo as a last second addition to the field.
I was fairly confident going into this challenge. With the exception of Bo, the competitors were 95-percent fantasy sports dudes wearing cargo shorts. I guess the sports world will always wonder, "What would've happened if the kid threw Sean a couple of strikes?"

MEXICO CITY, June 25 (Reuters) - Historic levels of violent crime in Mexico have sparked a record increase in the country’s car-armoring business, with an industry group predicting a double-digit jump in the number of vehicles bulletproofed this year.
Audi’s Mexico arm said its factory-made armored Q5, which cost $87,000 locally, was cheaper for consumers than using an after-market firm, which one industry expert estimated would boost the car’s cost to more than $95,000 and void the factory guarantee.
“One of the crimes that hurts us most is kidnapping, that’s what we’re afraid of,” he said, adding he changed his car every two years.
Those companies include Mexico’s largest banks and multinationals like Unilever Plc < ULVR.L> and Procter & Gamble Co. Both companies did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Chelsea fullback Marcos Alonso says every move since his days with Real Madrid have improved him.
Alonso broke through at Real Madrid as a teenager before moving to Bolton in 2010 and he had a loan spell at Sunderland in 2014 before impressing at Italian club Fiorentina.
"They were all very important stages in my career," he said. "Before Bolton I played for Real Madrid and I was getting involved in the first-team training since I was 16 and then I played with the first team at 18.
"Bolton was another important stage for me. I learned a lot, even if I didn't fight for any titles. We were not too close, only one semi-final of the FA Cup and then I went to Sunderland for only four or five months and we fought relegation.
"At the end of the day we did a very good second half and we played in the final of the (2016 League) Cup.
"That was all very important for me to be the footballer I am today. You learn more when it's hard than when it's easy.
"I'm very happy about my career, and I'm proud of having played in Bolton and Sunderland. Still today I follow them and want what's best for them.
"That makes you enjoy the good moments even more and fight to keep playing for a good team and keep playing for titles and not fighting for relegation.
"It was perfect for me to improve as a player and to learn. I'm very happy with my career."
Absolutely heartbreaking. Kiele Sanchez has suffered a miscarriage, Us Weekly can confirm. The Kingdom actress and her husband, Zach Gilford, were expected to welcome their first child together next month.
"We regretfully confirm that Zach Gilford and Kiele Sanchez recently lost their child to a late-term miscarriage," the couple&apos;s rep tells Us in a statement.
"No additional details will be made available," the rep adds. "We thank everyone in advance for their sensitivity and discretion during this difficult time."
Sanchez, 37, and the Friday Night Lights alum, 33, met in 2010 on set of the ABC pilot The Matadors, and tied the knot in December 2012. This past August, Sanchez revealed she was pregnant during a TCA panel for her DirecTV drama.
When interviewing, many candidates don’t realize that the questions they ask are just as important as how they present themselves and the answers they give. Failing to ask questions shows a lack of genuine interest in the job. Asking foolish questions indicates the candidate didn’t do enough research before the interview. Making either mistake can cost a candidate the job offer.
Heather Krasna, author of “Jobs That Matter: Find a Stable, Fulfilling Career in Public Service,” advises job seekers to prepare a list of questions before the interview, much as they’d create a list of talking points that address the value they offer the employer. “Every interview is different. Some interviewers will only give you the chance to ask two or three questions. Others will ask again and again if you have any questions, so prepare more questions than you think you will need in case this happens,” she says.
This question allows you to counter by adding any particular skills or qualities that you have left out in the interview, but that the employer thinks are important.
When you are being interviewed by a hiring manager to whom you would report, this is a great question for gathering insight into whether you might get along.
If the job description was a bit vague on the types of assignments you would be doing or if you are otherwise unclear on this point, this question is essential.
This question not only gives great insight into the culture of the organization, it also makes the person answering the question feel good. In addition, if the person answering can’t come up with something good to say, this is a red flag about the place where you might be working.
This question is a bit pushy, but it is important if you do not know how the position opened. Is the organization expanding? Or did the last person leave, and can you subtly find out why?
This question is akin to “How will I be evaluated?” or “How do you measure success in this role?” It can also clue you in on whether the expectations for the job are realistic.
This question addresses the technology, staff or budget resources you will have and gives many insights into whether the organization is being realistic about what you can accomplish given the resources available.
This question shows you are open to feedback or critique and also tells the employer you want every opportunity to reassure him or her that you would be a great employee.
The final question can help relieve your anxiety after the interview because you at least have some clue about how long it will be before the employer gets back to you. Ask for business cards from each person interviewing you so you can send thank-you notes.
Krasna adds that there are also questions candidates should steer clear of asking during the interview, including inquiries about salary, scandals and office politics, and personal questions about the interviewer.
