Energy Challenge

Learn about the energy different foods provide, through considering how far someone could run fueled by that food.

How far could you run on 10g of apple?
Could you run further on 10g of banana?
Does chocolate or cheese provide more energy?

Explore the links between the food we eat and the energy it gives through this interactive activity.

If you want to learn more how the food we eat is broken down inside the body to give us energy, then take a look at our resource on Digestion.
