Recently got some burritos from a food bank and while looking for cooking directions I found this nutrition chart. Never seen a food product use anything other than calories for energy, thought it was interesting.

Pretty common in my country (New Zealand). If you want calories (technically, kilocalories), divide by 4.4.

I checked, and it looks like your answer is closer than mine.

To be fair, when dealing with quick mental math I just switch to using calories. And on my phone I have a calorie button

I was always confused by how kcal and Calories are the same in the US, but apparently it's the capital C that is the difference. Surely some marketing ploy from the past that stuck.

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.
