Counting the calories you eat is a little different. A gram of protein has 4 calories, as does a gram of carbohydrate. But a gram of fat has 9 calories, and a gram of alcohol has 7. There are roughly 454 grams in a pound, so: 1814 calories in a pound of pure protein or carbohydrate.
You can also weigh foods with a scale or measure amounts with measuring cups or spoons to estimate the amount of carbohydrate. For example, if a nutrition label shows that 1 1/2 cups of cereal contain 45 grams of carbohydrate, then 1/2 cup will have 15 grams of carbohydrate and 1 cup will have 30 grams of carbohydrate.
