Every gram of carbohydrate has 4 calories, so 20 grams of carbohydrates would be 80 calories. But you also have to take into account the amount of protein and fat grams in the food, as well. Protein has the same amount of calories as carbohydrates (4 calories per gram) and fat has 9 calories per gram.
