Count any honey or molasses mixed into tahini separately.
To calculate manually, multiply your portion weight in grams by 595 and divide by 100. For example, 20 g provides approximately 119 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.
