How much Calories come from 1 gram of nutrient? (1g of fat, 1 g of carb, 1 g of protein etc.)?

I've been studying about Nutrition for a while. I know that in every food there is a certain grams of carb, protein, or fat. Let's say if I don't know how many Calories in a bacon strip, but I know there are 7g of fat in it. Is 7g of fat = a certain amount of Calories? Or it depends on the type of food? If so, how much Calories does 1g of fat, 1g of Carb, and 1g of Protein provide?

Thank you very much for your input :)
