The table below lists typical caloric density values for commonly used diet ingredients. In
most cases, these values were calculated by applying the Atwater Values (4 kcal/gm for
protein and carbohydrates, and 9 kcal/gm for fat) to data (on a "dry basis") determined by
Proximate Analysis (moisture, protein, fat, fiber, ash, and carbohydrate by difference).
Mineral and Vitamin Mixture (s) caloric densities are based on the kcal/gm value of the
carbohydrate "carrier". *1 kcal/gm=4.187 J/gm and are digestible energy.
