What this calculator does

This tool converts an amount of a macronutrient, measured in grams, into its equivalent food energy in calories (kilocalories), using the standard Atwater energy factors nutrition labels are based on.

How the calculation works

Each macronutrient provides a fixed amount of energy per gram: carbohydrates and protein each provide about 4 kilocalories per gram, fat provides about 9 kilocalories per gram, and alcohol provides about 7 kilocalories per gram. The calculator multiplies your entered grams by the selected factor.
