How the Food Calorie Calculator Works
This calculator determines the total calorie content of a food item based on its nutritional composition. It multiplies the amount of carbohydrates, protein, and fat by their respective caloric values per gram:
- Carbohydrates: 4 calories per gram
- Protein: 4 calories per gram
- Fat: 9 calories per gram
The total calories are calculated as follows:
Total Calories = (Carbohydrates * 4) + (Protein * 4) + (Fat * 9)
Then, this total is adjusted based on the weight of the food item you entered to give a final calorie count in the result field.
Limitations
