If you look at your All Daily Report, under the "Spreadsheet Report", you will see a column titled "Cals" and a column titled "Water."You can use this information to fill in the table for each food item.For the last column labeled "Cas/g water (Cals/g)," divide the calories by the grams of water. You can expand the table by hitting the tab key in the last box.
