How many calories in protein?

 

There are 4 calories in protein per gram

This is important to know when you are calculating your daily meals for weight loss. Carbohydrates also have 4 calories per gram, while dietary fat has 9 calories per gram.

The best approach for meal planning is to calculate how many calories your body burns during the day, taking into account your lean body mass and your activity level.

Once you have this number, using a moderate 50-30-20 nutrient ratio, you can calculate the optimum size of your daily meals.

Choosing how many meals you will consume during the day, and how often you will consume them also plays an important role when it comes to long term weight loss.

But calories always have and always will be the most important element to losing weight.  Don't forget there are 7 calories per gram of alcohol.

Many people can’t reach their ideal weight simply because they consume too many calories on a daily basis.

This means that focusing on how many calories you consume each day should be your first step when you start your program.
