A http://muller.lbl.gov/teaching/Physics10/chapters/1-Explosions.htm listed what I have posted below. Does it make sense to compare the calories of a chocolate chip cookie to the calories of TNT? Maybe there is more calories in TNT than 1 but not all of it can be released fast enough to be apart of the explosion. Or maybe people don't digest all the calories in a cookie and so the calories listed are smaller than how much it actually contains.
Code:
object Calories in one gram
gasoline 10
chocolate chip cookies 5
bullet (moving at speed of sound) 0.01
methane gas (CH4) 13
battery (flashlight) 0.01
battery (computer) 0.1
hydrogen gas (H2) for fuel cell 26
TNT or dynamite, by convention* 1
real TNT (trinitrotoluene) 0.651
modern High Explosive (PETN) 1.06
meteor (at 30 km/sec) 100
