No one was ever trying to come up with an exact correlation. That was never the point. I'm not certain but I believe it was simply based on statistics of how many sodas were being consumed by the average soda drinker. From there they calculated the added number of calories per day from sugar.
They also have statistics on obesity. If excess calories cause weight gain then the plan is to find a way to cut some of those calories without interfering with nutrition.
