Calculating calories for canned beans

CptJinxx

So I have a can of beans in water and salt. Total Weight : 400 g. Drained Weight : 260 g.

The nutrition label says it's 70 calories per 100 g , didn't specify if it's drained or not,
and it also says : servings per container : 4.

My question : How many calories for eating the whole can of drained beans? 280 (70 x 4) or 182 ( 70 x 2.6 )?

Someone solved this problem for me the other day: instead of logging "canned beans" and trying to figure out the calories lost from the juice, do a database search for the type of beans cooked (i.e., "black beans, cooked" or "cannellini beans, cooked") and log the weight of the actual beans you ate.
