I cannot figure that out. Did you try googling it? I’m super curious. If you took those 4 carbs per gram and multiplied by a 50g hot dog that would be a ridiculous amount of carbs.

How many calories are in a gram of carbohydrate

It’s just trying to educate you about how many calories in a gram of fat, carbs and protein so you can work out that the amount of total calories don’t match up

It’s telling you the number of calories in a gram of fat, carbs or protein. 1 gram carb = 4 calories

That is not specific to hotdogs or this package – it’s a reference guide. They are telling you how many calories are in each macronutrient.
If you eat 1 gram of fat, just fat, it’s 9 calories. If you eat 1 gram of protein, it’s 4 calories.

It is the scientific number of calories per gram of each. Alcohol which isn’t listed is 7.

I’ll try explaining…. Think of it as your calories as energy points per gram of carb, fat, orprotein, each gram of fat is 9 calories, fat 4 and protein 4,
So anytime they say it’s 18 carbs just x 4 and it should be your calories (except for carbs you subtract fiber). But fat and protein each gram you can multiply by their caloric value per gram and get the caloric value of the serving (have to read the serving size) .

Those look like Dollar Tree hot dogs. What kind are they?

Atwater values – these are average calorie values for macronutrients. That apply to all foods…not specific to these hot dogs.
