It can be calculated from bomb calorimetry data, subtracting 1.25 Cal/g protein for incomplete digestion. More commonly, it is calculated using 4 Cal/g for total carbohydrates, 4 Cal/gram for proteins, and 9 Cal/gram for total fats. It can also be calculated using data for specific food factors for FDA approved ingredients.

In the context of food, calories indicate the energy that the body can obtain from consuming that food. The total caloric content of food is determined by its macronutrients: carbohydrates, proteins, and fats, each providing a specific amount of energy. Therefore, the calorie count of food reflects the potential energy available for bodily functions and activities.
