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.
A gram of protein or carbohydrate has 4 calories, while a gram of fat has 9 calories, so if you take in 2,000 calories a day, 200 to 700 of those calories should be from fat. That equates to 22 to 78 grams of fat per day.
