🔹 Formula Used

  1. Protein (g):

Protein (g)=Total Calories×Protein %4×100\text{Protein (g)} = \frac{\text{Total Calories} \times \text{Protein \%}}{4 \times 100}Protein (g)=4×100Total Calories×Protein %​

  1. Fat (g):

Fat (g)=Total Calories×Fat %9×100\text{Fat (g)} = \frac{\text{Total Calories} \times \text{Fat \%}}{9 \times 100}Fat (g)=9×100Total Calories×Fat %​

  1. Carbohydrates (g):

Carbs (g)=Total Calories×Carb %4×100\text{Carbs (g)} = \frac{\text{Total Calories} \times \text{Carb \%}}{4 \times 100}Carbs (g)=4×100Total Calories×Carb %​

Note: Protein and carbs = 4 cal/g, fat = 9 cal/g
