Energy is obtained from food fat, protein, carbohydrate, and alcohol. The unit of energy is kilojoule (kJ). One kilojoule corresponds to 0.239 kilocalories (kcal). Each macronutrient has a specific ability to produce energy. The energy factor of fat is 37 kJ/g (9 kcal/g), protein and carbohydrate 17 kJ/g (4 kcal/g), alcohol 29 kJ/g (7 kcal/g), fiber 8 kJ/g (2 kcal/g), organic acids 13 kJ/g (3 kcal/g), and sugar alcohols 10 kJ/g (2.4 kcal/g).
Total fat refers to the sum of all fat-soluble substances in food. Most dietary fat is in the form of triglycerides, but total fat also includes phospholipids and sterols. Fats serve as building materials for cells, participate in nervous system function, hormone metabolism, and growth. Fat provides 37 kJ (9 kcal) of energy per gram.
