The Grams to Calories Calculator helps determine the number of calories in a given amount of carbohydrates, proteins, or fats based on the selected macronutrient type.
How It Works
Different macronutrients have different caloric values:
- Carbohydrate: 4 calories per gram
- Protein: 4 calories per gram
- Fat: 9 calories per gram
Example Calculation
For example, 50 grams of protein would be calculated as: \[ 50 \times 4 = 200 \text{ calories} \]
Importance
Tracking calories based on macronutrient intake is essential for managing diets, fitness goals, and overall health.
