Is There A Mathematical Way To Convert Fat To Calories?
Posted by Zolly | Under Nutrition Sunday Nov 29, 2009I’m going on a diet, & to closely monitor my calorie intake, I’m reading the nutrition facts pannel of everything I eat. Problem is, in Poland (I’m on vacation), they don’t have a very descriptive nutrition pannel. It shows how much sugar & fat there is in the food, but not how much calories. I’m good at math & if I can somehow convert fat to calories I can lose alot of weight. Help?
To lose 1 lb of fat you have to use up 3500 calories.
32 calories in a teaspoon of sugar, remember that Poland is on the metric system, so you are going to get a mental math workout this summer, that’s for sure. Have fun calculating and releasing excess weight.
1 gram of carbohydrates = 9 calories
1 gram of protein = 4 calories
1 gram of fat = 4 calories
