Answer 1

Answer:

Ig of fat provides 9 calories of energy.

Explanation:

Each gram of fat supplies the body with about 9 calories, more than twice that supplied by proteins or carbohydrates. Because fats are such an efficient form of energy, the body stores any excess energy as fat

Answer:

1g of calories provides 4 calories of energy.

Explanation:

Carbohydrates, proteins, and fats supply 90% of the dry weight of the diet and 100% of its energy. All three provide energy (measured in calories), but the amount of energy in 1 gram (1/28 ounce) differs: 4 calories in a gram of carbohydrate or protein. 9 calories in a gram of fat.
