∙ 14y agoCalories is the measurement of the amount of energy the fat/carb/protein produces. This energy comes from the breaking of carbon bonds --> electron transfer --> oxygen converted to water. Each fat molecule contains 3 fatty acids, all of which have carbon bonds that can be broken, in comparison to a glucose molecule (all carbs are eventually converted to glucose and then broken down).
Thus, 1 gram of fat produces greater energy (has more calories, 9kCal/g) than 1 gram of carbohydrate or protein (4kCal/g).
