[QUOTE="bulkbiker, post: 2400687, member: 219467"] The sum is quite simple so take the value lets say 63 cals for 15g 63/15 is 4.2 cals per gram so multiply by 12 and you get 12 * 4.2 = 50.4 cals per 12g portion. Does that make it easier? The best thing is to look at the food label on the back of the pack where you get the numbers per 100g. This will give you a percentage so the chia seeds should for example say 420cals per 100g 420/100 is 4.2 so measure the amount you eat and multiply by 4.2 and voila you get the calories for what you have just served up. It works the same way for all the macros, fats, proteins and carbs. Waitrose has slightly different numbers for their Chia seeds but the principle is the same for all foods. Does that help a bit?
