The easiest way to memorize something, is to connect it with something really random and maybe even wierd. The weirder the better because it'll be easier to remember.
A few simple examples:
CARbohydrates, a car has 4 wheels so a gram of carbohydrates provides 4 calories.
Fat, what rhymes with fat; cat -> how many lives does a fat cat have; 9 -> so fat provides 9 calories per gram.
It doesn't have to make sense as long as you can remember it.
