    Really not sure where this goes but.

    On the back of boxes it says

    Calories
    Fat(g)
    Calories from fat

    Does that mean it has the fat AND calories from fat. or is it just saying xG of fat is the same as x calories.

    calories per serving
    fat grams per serving
    how many of the calories came from fat

    This is useful if you set a limit, such as not wanting to get more than 30% of your calories from fat. (one example)

    Btw, one gram of fat contains 9 calories. That might help put it into perspective
