Calorie count for Carbs, Protein and Fat

Each Macronutrient provides us with calories, the amount varies.
  • Carbohydrate provides 4 calories per gram.
  • Protein provides 4 calories per gram.
  • Fat provides 9 calories per gram.
For example, if you look at a Nutrition Fact Label it could say 10 grams of carbohydrates, 0 grams of fat and 0 of protein per serving. They you can know that the food has about 48 calories per serving.
