Though this is not explicitly mentioned in the article, the calorie counts on food labels are generally obtained by putting the food item into a device called a bomb calorimeter. Bomb calorimeters completely burn the food and measure how much energy is released by measuring an increase in temperature. True or false: the author of this article would agree that this method accurately reflects the amount of energy that your body will extract when you eat a food item such as an almond. True False
