Protein and carbohydrates each contain 4 calories per gram. Consuming the right balance of protein, carbohydrates and fat can help you maintain a healthy weight and optimize your energy levels. Protein and carbohydrates both contain 4 calories per gram, while fat provides 9 calories per gram. Calculating your calorie needs can help you determine how many grams of protein, carbohydrates and fat you should consume each day.
For a 140lb female, calorie intake=1800 calories, protein=20%: 1800 x .20 = 360 calories from protein. Since 1 gram of protein = 4 calories, divide protein calories by four: 360/4 = 90 grams of protein per day. No matter what your calculations are, remember that there are no magic foods or supplements that can replace the right training and the right diet.
