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.
The number of calories in a food depends on the amount of energy the food provides. The number of calories a person needs depends on age, height, weight, gender, and activity level. People who consume more calories than they burn off in normal daily activity or during exercise are more likely to be overweight. Fat: 1 gram = 9 calories Protein: 1 gram = 4 calories Carbohydrates: 1 gram = 4 calories Alcohol: 1 gram = 7 calories
