There are:
- 4 kCal/gram for Protein
- 4 kCal/gram for Carbohydrates
- 9 kCal/gram for Fats (incl. saturated, monounstaurated, polyunsaturated)
- I've heard, though never measured, there are approx 7 kCal/gram of liquor. Obviously, this would depend on what kind of liquor (beer, wine, hard liquor, aperitif which has more sugar, etc.). Again, I have no measured proof (no pun intended - heheh)
So, to answer your question, for 50g of protein we get => 50grams * 4 kCal/gram = 200 kCal. Therefore, your intake of 2000 kCal would mean that approx. 10% of your energy would be derived from the protein.
