NURSING ANM AND GNM

Detailed explanation-1: -Carbohydrates provide 4 calories per gram, protein provides 4 calories per gram, and fat provides 9 calories per gram.

Detailed explanation-2: -A gram of protein is always four calories, but you will have to use energy to digest it. The energy needed to digest protein is 0.8-1.2 calories per gram, leaving you effectively with 2.8-3.2 surplus calories per gram of protein. Pure amino acids are “pre-digested” and should thus be quite close to 4 calories per gram.

Detailed explanation-3: -The calories in food come from carbohydrates, proteins, and fats: A gram of carbohydrate has 4 calories. A gram of protein has 4 calories. A gram of fat has 9 calories-more than twice as much as the other two.

Detailed explanation-4: -1 egg white can provide 4 grams of protein, with only trace amounts of fat and carbohydrates which aren’t enough to be concerned with. Pure Whey Protein Powder: In a pinch this can be a savior so it’s great to have on hand.

Detailed explanation-5: -Carbohydrates and Protein both contain 4 kilocalories per gram, while Fat provides 9 kilocalories per gram. Basically, the energy is measured in kilojoules (KJ) or kilocalories (Kcal) [1 kilo calorie equals to 4.2 kilojoules].
