Usually I can determine the calories per gram in a recipe. That is because I use the total amount for all ingredients. Now I am trying to make something by using all of one item and a smaller number of grams of a calorie dense ingredient.
I want to add dried fruit to nonfat Greek yogurt. The yogurt is .6167/gram. The dried fruit is 5 calories per gram. What I want is a combination of the two that add up to only 1.25 calories/gram. That means I can only add .6333 calories/gram to realize that yield, What I don't know is how to figure how many grams of the dried fruit I need to add to obtain the 1.25 calories per gram.
227 grams of Greek yogurt = 140 calories.
30 grams of dried fruit = 150 calories.
Can someone show me a formula I can use?
Your guidance will be greatly appreciated.
