Why do calorie counts only end with a 0 or 5?

Asked by SamIAm (8703points) October 30th, 2009

I just searched through my pantry and found that most food calories end with a number 0 or 5… no 1,2,3s etc. Why is it that calories are measured in this matter but other nutritional information (i.e. grams of fat or carbs) is measured more accurately?
