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: -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-3: -General recommendations are to consume 15–30 grams of protein at each meal. Studies show higher intakes-those more than 40 grams-in one sitting are no more beneficial than the recommended 15–30 grams at one time. Don’t waste your money on excessive amounts.
Detailed explanation-4: -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].
