How many calories are in a food which has 10 grams of protein, 4 grams of fat, and 20 grams of carbohydrate
protein contains 4 and calories contain 4...
Proteins (like carbohydrates) have 4 calories/gram. (Fats and oils have 9 calories/gram.)

plant protein
Lipids are important energy storage compounds because they provide heat and provide a source of long term energy.Because the are not soluble in water, they therefore do not wash away in the various bodily fluids. As they are not soluble in water they will not change the water potential of a cell they are present in.
1 gram of protein is equivalent to 4 calories.
It is thought that fat is the macronutrient that is most readily stored as body fat since there are 9 calories per gram of fat as opposed to 4 calories per gram for both carbohydrates and protein.
It takes 2.46 calories of heat to raise the temperature of one gram of ethyl alcohol. Calories are the energy available from the metabolism of a food.
Lipids contain 9 cal/gram while proteins and carbohydrates each contain 4 cal/gram.
Lipids contain the greatest amount of chemical energy compared to carbohydrates and proteins. Per gram, lipids contain 9 calories, whereas carbohydrates and proteins contain 4 calories per gram.
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.
4 calories per one gram of carbohydrates. == == A single gram of carbohydrates contains roughly four calories of energy. (Proteins also contain 4 kcal/gram; fats contain 9 kcal/gram and ethanol contains 7 kcal/gram.)
Protein and Carbohydrates are both 4 calories per gram, and Fat is 9 calories per gram.
About 4
There are approximatley 4Kcal (calories) of energy per gram of carbohydrates.. This is the same in proteins, but 9Kcal of energy are produced in a gram of fat Hope that answers your question :)
Actually this is incorrect. A gram of fat contains 9 calories. The others (protein and carbohydrate) however both do contain 4 calories.

The answers is fats supply the most calories per gram.
there are four calories for each gram of carbohydrates, there are four calories per gram of protein, and there are nine calories per gram of fat so there would be 800 calories in your carbs 120 calories in your proteins and 360 calories in your fats. So the total calories would be 1280 calories consumed a day.
Calories are calculated through proteins, carbohydrates and fats. 1 gram of protein equals 4 calories, 1 gram of carbohydrates equals 4 calories and 1 gram of fat equals 9 calories. Together these make up the calories in anything one consumes.
