DevinTo convert calories into grams, you need to know the specific nutrient density of the food you are calculating. Typically, you can use the general conversion that 1 gram of carbohydrates or protein is equivalent to 4 calories, and 1 gram of fat is equivalent to 9 calories. By dividing the number of calories by the conversion factor, you can get an estimate of the grams of macronutrients in the food.
