What is the kilo calorie difference between one gram of fat and one gram of carbohydrates?
Fat provides ~9kcal/gAlcohol provides ~7kcal/gProtein provides ~4kcal/gCarbohydrates provides ~4kcal/g (Digestible fiber provides ~2kcal/g)Looking at this you can see that carbohydrates provides less energy than fatbut as much energy as protein. With this said, protein contain more kcal than do carbohydrates. This is due to the usage of the protein. Proteinis not a good energy source to the body due to the energy demanded to digest it, it's usage as a "building block" in the body (now we're really talking about the amino acids which the protein is broken down into) and due to it's content of nitrogenous material which isexcreted.What is done after the measurement of the energy content in food is adding the "atwater factor", which takes the human body into account.Before the atwater system is used the energy content is in general:Fat contain 9.19-9.37kcalProtein contain 5.27-5.95kcalCarbohydrate contain 3.75-4.2kcal
