Protein, carbohydrates, and fats are macronutrients that provide energy (calories) to the body. Here are the calculations for converting grams of each macronutrient into calories:
- Protein: Each gram of protein provides 4 calories
- Carbohydrates: Each gram of carbohydrates provides 4 calories
- Fats: Each gram of fat provides 9 calories
For example, if a food item contains 20 grams of protein, 30 grams of carbohydrates, and 10 grams of fat, the total number of calories from protein would be 20 grams x 4 calories/gram = 80 calories. The total number of calories from carbohydrates would be 30 grams x 4 calories/gram = 120 calories. And the total number of calories from fat would be 10 grams x 9 calories/gram = 90 calories. The total number of calories in the food item would be 80 + 120 + 90 = 290 calories.
It's also important to remember that calorie needs vary depending on factors such as age, sex, height, weight, and activity level. Consult with a registered dietitian or physician for personalized recommendations.

I was diagnosed with Herpes four years ago. For over two years, I relied on prescribed medications and treatments, but unfortunately, my condition continued to worsen. The flare-ups became more frequent, the discomfort increased, and even simple daily tasks became difficult to manage.Last year, out of desperation and hope, I decided to try a herbal treatment program from NaturePath Herbal Clinic. Honestly, I was skeptical at first, but within a few months of starting the program, I felt some changes. My discomfort eased, my energy levels improved, and I felt I had more control over my daily life again.It’s been a meaningful experience for me, and I feel more like myself than I have in years. This is simply my personal story. You can visit their website at www.naturepathherbalclinic.com
