Need some edumacation on Calories and Fat

deesdigitaldelight

Someone told me that if something says 100 calories and the label says 45 calories from fat (their explanation stated) that I have to add 100 plus 45 so my actual calories consumed were 145 but I just thought it's 45 calories from fat and the other 55 are from the other ingredients in the item I'm eating?

Can someone give me the K.I.S.S. explaination on this Calories and Fat in the food issue?

Thank you,
Dee

Calories listed are the total calories in the product. So if 100 caloreis are listed, that is what you enter. The 45 from fat mean that 45 of the 100 are from fat. So you are right and your friend is wrong. That is always nice!

Double post. Oops.

You are correct and the person who told you that is wrong. It would be 100 calories total, with 45 out of that 100 calories coming from fat.
