The assigned energy values of macronutrients are as follows: carbohydrates provide approximately 4 calories per gram, proteins also offer about 4 calories per gram, and fats supply around 9 calories per gram. Alcohol, while not a macronutrient, contributes about 7 calories per gram. These values are used to calculate the energy content of food and guide dietary planning.
The macronutrients in food provides us with the ENERGY we need to survive.

The substance found in foods that is energy-rich is called macronutrients, specifically fats, carbohydrates, and proteins. These macronutrients provide the body with the energy it needs to function properly.

Hunger is the desire for food. We need food to make energy. Complicated proccesses in our digestive systems break down the food we eat and remove the macronutrients. The macronutrients are used to make energy for our muscles to use. If there is no food, there are no nutrients and no energy. When you are hungry, your body is "telling" you that you need to eat.
The unit of measure for energy stored in food is typically represented in kilocalories (kcal) or kilojoules (kJ). This energy is derived from the macronutrients in food such as carbohydrates, proteins, and fats, and is used by the body for various functions and activities.
Yes it is with 9 kcalories per gram
Micronutrients, which include vitamins and minerals, do not supply energy in the form of calories like macronutrients (carbohydrates, proteins, and fats) do. Instead, they play crucial roles in various biochemical processes that help the body utilize energy from macronutrients. While they are essential for overall health and metabolic functions, they do not provide energy directly.
