Calories Per Gram

1 gram of carbohydrate = 4 grams
1 gram of protein = 4 calories
1 gram of fat = 9 calories
1 gram of alcohol = 7 calories

Lesson - fat is much more calorie dense than protein or carbs. It only takes a small amount of fat to rack up a large amount of calories.

I am trying to see how many patients look at my blog. If you read this please send me an email at operationzbh@gmail.com to confirm you did.
