D is the answer, no doubt. 3.4 kcal/g, just like regular table sugar. Can't believe they're trying to trick us with these other options.

I agree, D is the correct answer. 3.4 kcal/g is the same as regular sugar.

Hmm, I'm going to go with option B. 1.2 kcal/g sounds about right for a simple carbohydrate like IV dextrose.

I'm pretty sure it's 3.4 kcal/g. I mean, that's the calorie density of pure glucose, right? This is a no-brainer.
