Guest guest Posted May 4, 2011 Report Share Posted May 4, 2011 I don't know the biochemistry of that Dave, but fats-all fats-have 9 calories per gram. They have more potential energy per gram than do carbs, but if the fats are not used as fats (like for making hormones, lubricating joints, giving energy to the brain), then what is left will break down into glucose. _____ From: blind-diabetics [mailto:blind-diabetics ] On Behalf Of dave Bond Sent: Tuesday, May 03, 2011 6:29 PM To: blind-diabetics Subject: Re: grams Pat, hmmm. I thought fat yielded the least amount of glucose after the body has processed it. How can it yield more calories than carbohydrates or proteins? Dave " ...In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world. " [ 16:33] grams Dave, Calorie wise, 1 gram of either protein or carb equals 4 calories and 1 gram of fat equals 9 calories.
