How Do You Calculate Metabolisable Energy

For proteins: MEp = HCp (Ap) − Up = 5.65 (0.92) − 1.25 = 4.0 kcal per gram of protein.For fats: MEf = HCf (Af) = 9.4 (0.95) = 8.9 kcal per gram of fat.For carbohydrates: MEc = HCc (Ac) = 4.1 (0.97) = 4.0 kcal per gram of carbohydrate.

How do you calculate macronutrient energy?

The amount of grams of each energy source (fat, carbohydrate, and protein) and the amount of energy per gram of each energy source is given on the label. Multiply the grams by the Energy per gram to obtain the Energy.

How is dietary energy calculated?

ED is calculated by dividing the energy content (in kilocalories) by weight of foods (or foods + beverages in g) consumed. For the foods + all beverages method of calculating dietary ED, use the total nutrients file: Dietary EDfood+beverage = Total energy (kcal) / total weight (g)
