The scale factor used here comes from Google Calculator, but the typical application is that a pound of body fat is equivalent to roughly 3500 calories. There are many variations in the measurements of body fat vs. nutritional fat, so more information is needed for an accurate calculation.
Some sources state that a gram of fat contains 9 calories. There are close to 454 grams in a pound, so that would total 4086 calories.
The difference occurs because body fat contains not only fat, but also other substances including water. The dietary fat in the nutritional analysis of food is pure.
Generally, you can use 3500 calories per pound to compute the amount of body fat you burn through activities, and 9 calories per gram if you're computing the nutritional content of food.
