Calculating calories per gram of carbohydrates, fat or protein is easy. All you need to remember is that:
* 1 gram of carbohydrate = 4 calories
* 1 gram of protein = 4 calories
* 1 gram of fat = 9 calories
* 1 gram of alcohol = 7 calories
Knowing this, you can figure the number of calories in any food in which you know the grams of the above nutrients.
For example, here are the calculations for a slice of bread that has 9 grams of carbohydrates, 2 grams of protein and 1 gram of fat:
* 9 grams carbohydrates x 4 calories/gram = 36 calories
* + 2 grams protein x 4 calories/gram = 8 calories
* + 1 gram fat x 9 calories/gram = 9 calories
_____________________________________
Total calories = 53.
Happy calculating!

Actually both very hot and very cold (ice water) is somewhat helpful for increasing weight loss. When you drink extremely hot or cold water your metabolism increases due to an attempt to heat or cool the water to body temperature. It is a temporary boost, but does burn calories. Ice water is much easier to drink (and safer) than hot water and probably has more of an effect on metabolism. If you drink hot water, add some lemon to further aid in digestion. The citrus has a thermogenic (fat burning) effect as well.

don't give him gatoraide, it is not formulated for children active or not. give him the juice, just try watering it down, I give my son 1 oz juice to 3 oz water most times. my son will not drink straight water. I would say get as much into him as you can without getting too much and making him not want to eat. My son is 20 months old so I know where you are at with that. My son doesn't give me problems with his milk though, but what you could try with that is to give him the same amount of milk a day as when you are doing regularly but try giving him his milk just in the morning and evening. If he is refusing his milk just during the day it may be the heat, it curdles very shortly after it gets to their stomach so that may be turning him off of milk right now. There is also pediatric formulated drinks you could give him that are like juice, I think one is pedialyte, in liquid or frozen form, that will help him from getting dehydrated and is formulated for his small body unlike gatoraide or poweraide. Leave those to the older kids and adults please. Good luck
