What is the difference between Calories and Fat Calories?

Answer 1

Fat calories are what make you gain weight.example beans have 90 cal.per cup and 70 calories from fat that is almost all fat not to good.a cup of green beans have 40 cal.and 5cal from fat.so the lower the fat cal.count is from the cal.count the better.

Answer 2

When you read a nutrition label, the calories refer to the total calories for one serving. The fat calories refers to how many calories out of that total are fat, which means the rest of the calories are protein and carbohydrates. Here's an example: An Odwalla Berries Go-Mega bar label reads 220 calories, 45 fat calories. That means one bar is 220 calories, and 45 of those calories are from fat (since fat is 9 calories per gram, that means the bar has 5 grams of fat). So 220 - 45 = 175 calories of protein and carbohydrates.

Answer 3

Calories are simply the measure of the amount of energy provided in a food. Any calories not used in your activities will be stored in the body, eventually as fat.

Fat calories denote that energy that comes from fat in food. This energy is more of a concern for two reasons. One is that it is already fat and leads to storage more quickly. The second is that fat is harder to break down and less usable as an energy source.

Answer 4

Calories come from one of four places: Proteins, Carbohydrates, Alcohol, and Fats. Your body needs proteins, carbs, and fats. If you are watching your percentages of where the calories come from, then you can monitor your fat calories vs. carb calories vs. protein calories and stay within your target range. Otherwise, if you eat a balanced diet normally and aren't watching your percent of fat or carbs, it really is irrelevant. One calorie is one calorie, it all burns the same. It's a unit of energy.

Answer 5

Fat calories are more likely to go straight to your hips whereas the regular calories are easier for your body to burn.
