Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -How many calories are in one gram of fat, carbohydrate, or protein? Carbohydrates provide 4 calories per gram, protein provides 4 calories per gram, and fat provides 9 calories per gram. This information is also included at the end of the Nutrition Facts label on food packages.
Detailed explanation-2: -One level teaspoon of sugar contains 16 Calories and 4 g of carbohydrates.
Detailed explanation-3: -They supply 90% of the dry weight of the diet and 100% of its energy. All three provide energy (measured in calories), but the amount of energy in 1 gram (1/28 ounce) differs: 4 calories in a gram of carbohydrate or protein. 9 calories in a gram of fat.
