Calorie Formula's

... want to count the calories in fat, carbs and  protein you consume..follow this simple M&M's (Maths & Multiplication..trust me when I can do it you can do it for sure)

Calorie Formula's -  Fat: 1gm = 9 calories, Carbohydrates: 1gm = 4 calories, Protein: 1gm = 4calories, Alcohol: 1gm =7 calories

"That means if you know how many grams of each one are in a food, you can calculate the total calories. You would multiply the number of grams by the number of calories in a gram of that food component.
For example, on the nutrition label... if a serving of potato chips (about 20 chips) has 10 grams of fat, the answer is 90 calories. Because 10 grams x 9 (Formula) calories per gram = 90".
