Calorie is the amount of heat that food provides after it is digested and metabolized by our body. That is, when we refer to the calories in a food, we are talking about the amount of energy that food is able to provide us.

Fats have more than twice as many calories as protein and carbohydrates. One gram of protein has 4 calories, the same value is observed in one gram of carbohydrate. However, one gram of fat has 9 calories.
