Counting calories correctly

>>39349049
Yeah if you are trying to get a certain number of calories by gram then you would have to add all of the calories you will eat together.

20g of carbs from a cookie
+ 5g of carbs from a celery stick
---
25g of carbs in total.

I mean like on pic related. That number 200 per serving is definite? Or should I add all calories from carbs, protons and such to that number?

The 200 is the total calories from fat, carbs and protein. But remember that many times these are still inaccurate, and don't properly reflect how many calories are actually available. They do however give you a good idea of what you're eating, so it's better than blindly guessing.

fat 1g -> 1x8 = 8
Carbs 36g -> 36x4 = 144
Protein 13g -> 13x4 = 52

TOTAL 204

Pretty accurate imo

Thanks I was worried I was having to go a day without a massive fucking boner.

>having to go a day without a massive fucking boner.
When is the last time you went a day without a boner? Why is this related to calories?

>>39349440
It's not, just like the pic you posted isn't relevant to your post.

Ah, I thought.

Okay per serving = how many portions of that they are measuring calories for.

Say if you got a pizza that was sectioned into four slices.

On it's nutrition label it will say something like
Amount per serving
then
Servings per container/box/bag/package etc.
That package doesn't say anything about servings per anything so it is saying this package is a single serving.

Serving size is simply how many grams ounces pounds etc that serving size is in weight or volume.

To get the amount of calories and grams of something in a container/box/bag/etc you multiply the number next to the "amount per serving" thing with the number next to the "servings per container" thing.

Let's go back to the pizza example
It will have a nutritional label that says..
Serving size 100gs
Amount per serving 1 slice
Servings per box 4 slice
Calories = 200
Total fat = 20g
Cholesterol = 10g
Total Carbohydrate = 50g
Etc etc

If you want to know how many calories are in that container you measure amount per serving times servings per
If you want to know how many carbs you multiply the number of carbs times the number of servings and so on.

If you want an accurate measurement of the calories then you'll have to go online and look it up. Nutritional labels are never actually clear on what a serving size is supposed to look like.

1. Who is that girl.

2. It's the total of everything inside. The per serving calories is total of fat protein and carbs etc.

always wondered how cooked and uncooked food kcals work

when in the label it says 100g chicken has 110kcals and I weight 100g and then cook it im consuming the 110kcals right?

weigh your meals (or if it's packaged food just use what's on the bag)
use myfitnesspal
find the exact shit you ate on there
enter the mass (weight) of the shit you ate
ta-da
