Fats release more energy per gram that proteins. when burned a gram of fat releases 9 calories, while one gram of protein releases about 4 calories. Fats release about twice as much energy per gram than protein. Proteins are essential in numerous body functions and processes so this molecule is not usually metabolized for energy.
