Calories
Calories are needed to provide energy so the body functions properly. The number of calories in a food depends on the amount of energy the food provides. The number of calories a person needs depends on age, height, weight, gender, and activity level. People who consume more calories than they burn off in normal daily activity or during exercise are more likely to be overweight.
Protica Research develops and manufactures protein liquids and protein foods rich in nutrient-dense calories for the healthcare and mass markets.
There are approximately 4 calories in an individual gram of protein. Calories provide the body with energy, and protein is essential for promoting muscle growth.
One gram of fat contains twice as many calories as one gram of protein.
Healthy adults should aim to have anywhere from 10-35% of the calories in their diets come from protein.
