A calorie, or kilocalorie, is a unit used to measure energy. Specifically, a calorie is the amount of energy needed to raise 1 kg of water by 1 degree Celsius. Calories in our diet come from fat, protein, carbohydrates, and alcohol. Carbohydrates and protein contain 4 calories per gram. Each gram of alcohol contains 7 calories.
If you decide to use carbohydrate counting as your approach to meal planning, you'll learn how many grams of carbohydrates are in each of the foods you eat and keep track of how much you eat. In the carbohydrate counting method, 15 grams of carbohydrate is equal to one carbohydrate serving. How many grams of carbohydrate you need each day depends on how many calories you need to stay at a healthy weight. A woman who needs about 1,500 calories a day will aim for 180 to 195 grams of carbohydrate or about 12 to 13 carbohydrate servings a day.
