Yes. Freshman biology we learned about the amount of calories in a peanut by burning it and seeing how much it could heat a unit of water. Then the teacher explained that if we ate just peanuts we could eat half a jar and reach our caloric limit of 2000 calories to run an average human body, demonstrated with a peanut jar and the calories on the back of the jar. We did it with various foods and he had a chart of calories that we obviously couldn't burn like leafy greens and soda. he also explain diet vs regular soda. He was pretty cool. Also he gave zero shits because he was retiring that year.
