Question:

I'm watching my calorie intake because I'm a fat ass, and sometimes I eat something that has calories from fat on it. Are these included in the main calorie count or should I add them as extra?

they're included

40 of those 110 calories are fat

Rule of thumb since no one else has said it, when you look at the calories, one gram of fat=9 of those calories, one gram of carbs=4 calories, and one gram of protein=4 calories. It won't exactly match up all the time because they are just rounded off to the nearest ten, but it's close enough. You can get the actual calorie count now on your own. Congratulations.

Bonus, 1 g of alcohol = 7 calories

... Wha...? Hang on... What kind of fucking alcohol are you drinking? Calories are calories.

Unless there is something I'm missing? Hang on... one gram alcohol... Um... Eh. Fuck it. Just go by a serving and not a gram of whatever.

really? i thought it was the other shit that had the calories.
beer is high calorie because its fermented from grains, thus has carbs.

alcohol itself is calorie free, thats why wine and shit has lower calories but more alcohol

I'm not entirely sure why companies say calories from fat, but yeah. If something has 45 calories from fat, that means it has 5g of fat. So... yeah.

Yeah, completely pointless. But you know how Americans are with their low fat intake. *sighs*

And I don't think the calories per gram changes just because it's alcolhol, right? It should still be 4 calories per gram of carbs. Can I have a source? This is interesting, and you may be right. I just want to know if this is right.

I said fat intake, which IMPLIES that Americans are in general fad diet goers instead of going the right route with weight loss.

I'm American, by the way. No need to get pissy.
