    1/2 a cup is 125ml
    2 tbsp is 30ml (or 40 ml depending on where you are, but generally 30), or approx 1/8 c

    Since 1/2 cup is 125 g approx and 2 tablespoons is 30 g, your calorie would be 26.4

    Hope that helps!
  • It helps me to know that there are 4 tablespoons in 1/4 cup. So you're looking at 27.5 calories :)

    if you have a smart phone there are lots of free conversion apps available that are a huge help with things like this. I have multiconvert for iphone, it says there are 16 tbsp to 1 cup (8 tbsp to 1/2 cup), 110 / 4 = 27.5.
  • A good post and has helped me too.
