I want to know what is the difference between regular calories and fat calories?

About 2 to 1: You're asking the question backwards. Fat has over twice as many calories per gram, ounce, pound or whatever as protein and carbohydrates--but a calorie is still just a calorie. Fats just have lots more than the same weight of carbs or protein.
