Nutrition by weight
| Weight | Calories | Protein | Carbohydrate | Fat |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10 g | 38.7 | 0 g | 10 g | 0 g |
| 20 g | 77.4 | 0 g | 20 g | 0 g |

Values are scaled from the per-100-g data and rounded. “Calories” means kilocalories (kcal).
Tips for weighing and logging
Measure added sugar in grams; sweetness is not a reliable weight estimate.
To calculate manually, multiply your portion weight in grams by 387 and divide by 100. For example, 10 g provides approximately 38.7 kcal.
When logging a photo, check the food, cooking method and estimated portion before saving. A photograph cannot reliably show hidden oil or exact weight.
