Compare the thiamin density of 3 ounces of lean tbone steak

Compare the thiamin density of 3 ounces of lean t-bone steak (174 Kcal, 0.09 mg thiamin) with 1/2 cup of fresh cooked broccoli (27 Kcal, 0.05 mg thiamin)

Solution

Thymine density of 3 ounces of lean t- bone steak = mg of thiamine / kcal = 0.09/174 = 0.0005 mg/kcal

Thymine density of 1/2 cup of fresh cooked broccoli = mg of thiamine/kcal = 0.05 / 27 = 0.001 mg/kcal

The above results shows that 1/2 cup of fresh cooked broccoli offers twice as much thymine as 3 ounces of lean t-bone steak offers.
