2.5 servings x 150 calories per serving = 375 calories

So 1 serving (2 tbs) is 150 calories. There are about 2.5 servings per bag, so one bag would have about 375 calories if my math is correct

Wendyanneroberts

Each bag has (about) 2.5 servings; which is 2 tablespoons unpopped and 150 calories
which means per bag = 2.5 × 150 calories = 375 calories per bag.

If checking accuracy by weighing, one serving would weigh 34g unpopped. So each bag should weigh 85g before popping and be 375 calories.

And -

(2.5 2-Tbsp-unpopped servings/bag)*(4.5 cups popped/2 Tbsp unpopped) = 11.25 cups popped/bag

(30 Cal/1 cup popped)*(11.25 cups popped/bag) = 337.5 Cal/bag

...That's closer than the math comes out on some nutrition labels.

Math! Urgh. Thank you

Not to brag, but you know where I learned to do that? ...In engineering school. It took me a bit of head-scratching to work that out, and I have a *kitten*ing Master's Degree in Mechanical Engineering. When a food label's that hard to figure out, something somewhere is just not right.
