Enter the total grams of fat, carbohydrates, and protein into the calculator to determine the total calories. This calculator can also evaluate any variables given that the others are known.
Raw Food Calorie Formula
The following formula is used to calculate the total calories in a raw food meal.
TC = (F * 9) + (C * 4) + (P * 4)
Variables:
- TC is the total calories
- F is the total grams of fat
- C is the total grams of carbohydrates
- P is the total grams of protein
To calculate the total calories in a raw food meal, multiply the total grams of fat by 9, the total grams of carbohydrates by 4, and the total grams of protein by 4. Add all these results together to get the total calories.
What is a Raw Food Calorie?
A raw food calorie refers to the amount of energy that is derived from consuming raw food. Raw foods are unprocessed and uncooked, preserving their natural nutrients and enzymes which are often lost during cooking. The raw food diet primarily consists of fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, and sprouted grains and legumes. The calorie content in these foods can vary, but they are generally lower in calories compared to processed and cooked foods. However, the body may absorb fewer calories from raw foods as they are harder to digest.
How to Calculate Raw Food Calorie?
The following steps outline how to calculate the Raw Food Calorie using the given formula:
- First, determine the total grams of fat (F).
- Next, determine the total grams of carbohydrates (C).
- Next, determine the total grams of protein (P).
- Use the formula: TC = (F * 9) + (C * 4) + (P * 4).
- Finally, calculate the Raw Food Calorie (TC).
- After inserting the values of F, C, and P into the formula and calculating the result, you will get the Total Calories (TC).
Example Problem:
Use the following variables as an example problem to test your knowledge:
Total grams of fat (F) = 20
Total grams of carbohydrates (C) = 30
Total grams of protein (P) = 40
