Where the calories come from
Shares use 4 calories per gram for protein and carbohydrate and 9 for fat, so they may not match USDA’s calorie total exactly. Try the macro calculator.
Good to know
- Oil is pure fat (100 g per 100 g), which is why cooking oil is one of the easiest things to miss in a food diary. A teaspoon has about 40 calories.
- When you cook with oil, log it as its own entry, or tell Calorify about it when you describe the meal.
