What food averages 40 calories?
Carbohydrates and proteins contain 4 calories (kilocalories) per gram, and fats contain 9 calories per gram. A food with 40 calories may be any food with 10 grams of protein and/or carbohydrates and no fats, or with 4 and a half grams of fat and no carbohydrates or proteins, or any combination of fats and proteins/carbohydrates according to the equation 40 = 9F + 4C where F equals number of grams of fat, and C equals number of grams of carbohydrates and proteins.
A food source with 5 grams of protein 10 grams of fat and 20 grams of carbohydrates contains how many calories?
A food source with five grams of protein, ten grams of fat, and twenty grams of carbohydrates contains 190 calories. To find this, you need to know how many calories are in a gram of protein, fat, and carbohydrates. There are four calories in one gram of protein and one gram of carbohydrates. There are nine calories in one gram of fat. Then multiply five (the number of grams of protein) by four (the number of calories in one gram of protein), ten (the number of grams of fat) by nine (the number of calories in one gram of fat), and twenty (the number of grams of carbohydrates) by four (the number of calories in one gram of carbohydrates). Add those numbers up and you will know how many calories are in the food.

Looking At Calories List on Food Labels?
To maintain a healthy and balanced diet, it is important to keep track of the total daily calories that are consumed. This requires careful analysis of the labels that are found on the food packages. The calories are often expressed as a per serving number, and not for the entire package. Additionally, the food labels may contain information about how many calories come from fat, protein, and carbohydrates. In general, calories that come mostly from fat will lead to rapid weight gain. Such calories are unhealthy and it is better to get most of the calories from carbohydrates and proteins instead.
How many calories are in a fat?
It is a calorie from fat. Calories come from one of three sources: proteins, carbohydrates or fat. So a fat calorie would be a calorie coming from fat, not protein or carbohydrates. It's not really special in terms of what effect it has on the body, but it should be noted that fats are more calorically dense than protein or carbohydrates. One gram of fat has 9 calories, while carbohydrates and protein only have 4 calories per gram.
What is the 4-4-9 method of calculating calorie ratios?
A gram of carbohydrates has about 4 calories, a gram of protein has about 4 and a gram of fat has 9. Multiply the calories per gram by number of grams of each macronutrient and divide by the total number of calories to get the percent of calories coming from each macronutrient.
What are the 4 organic compounds?

How many calories in Chardoney?

Do fat calories add to the number of total calories in a food?
If you are counting calories, you count all calories including the calories from fats. However, bear in mind that (unlike carbohydrates) you do need fats and proteins in order to flourish physically. That is one of the reasons it is healthier to count carbohydrates rather than counting calories.
Why would a person consume more Calories after eating 8 ounces of butter then to eating 8 ounces of lean meat or 8 ounces of sugar?
you probably live in el paso XD( or maybe not) but here is your answear a.the nutrient building blocks of butter are converted into ATP more easily than are the nutrients in proteins or carbohydrates b.fats contain more than twice the number of calories than protein or carbohydrates c.the butter contains less indigestible fiber than the other foods d. fats are more easily digested than proteins or cabohydrates ^^^its one of those 4 :)
How much carbohydrate needs the body?
Everybody's body is different, and therefore the amount of carbohydrates one needs varies from person to person. According to the USDA and the HHS about half of the calories you intake everyday should be from carbohydrates. A gram of carbohydrates has 4 calories, therefore, if you were on a 2000 calorie diet, you would need to consume 250 grams of carbohydrates a day. How you calculate how many grams of carbohydrates you need is by taking your daily recommended calorie intake, dividing it by 2, then dividing that number by 4. *hint: If you're looking to stay healthy, aim for good carbohydrates, such as fruits an vegetables. Hope this helps. :)
