Carbohydrates and fats are nutrients which provide energy to the body and since calories(kilocalorie) tell how much energy a molecule of a nutrient contain, We can compare their energy values by first changing to kilocalorie.
Now, 1 gram of Carbohydrates contain 4 kilo calories while 1 gram of fat contains 9 kilo calorie of energy.
Let us consider a piece of bread containing
20g of carbohydrate molecule and
14g of fat molecule.
We will see that
carbohydrate will have 20 x 4 =80kcal and
fat will have 14 x 9=126kcal
- Even with the carbohydrate having more mass than Fat, Fat ended up havng more energy value than it.
