Grams to Calories Calculator

This converter turns grams of a macronutrient into the calories they carry, using the factors behind the calorie line on a nutrition label: 4 for protein and carbohydrate, 9 for fat, 7 for alcohol and 2 for fibre. Enter the grams from a label or a recipe and it returns the calories from each one, the total in kilocalories and kilojoules, and how the total splits between them. A second tab runs the other way and turns a calorie figure into grams of a single nutrient. It asks whether your carbohydrate figure already includes the fibre, because US and European labels differ on that and counting it twice is the usual mistake.

Calculator Type
US labels fold fibre into total carbohydrate. EU and UK labels keep it outside. Getting this wrong counts the fibre twice, or not at all.
