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.
