An egg has 7 grams of protein. How many calories from protein does an egg contain?
Answer (1)
To calculate the number of calories from protein in an egg, you need to understand how much energy protein provides.
Protein Calories Per Gram : Each gram of protein provides 4 calories.
Calculation : Since an egg contains 7 grams of protein, you multiply the grams of protein by the calories per gram:
7 grams of protein × 4 calories per gram = 28 calories
Therefore, an egg contains 28 calories from the protein it provides. This calculation helps you understand the contribution of protein to the overall energy content of the egg.
