How Do I Calculate Calories?
There are different calculations for calculating calories, but for this recipe, I will be using the common one. Calories are given in kilocalories (kcal), which is a measurement of how many calories are in a given amount of food. For this recipe, we are simply looking for the amount of calories in one of our daily meals. This recipe includes 151 calories of peanut butter and 118 calories of jelly. Adding this together gives us a total of 279 calories. For this recipe, we are looking for two of our daily meals. Since we are only looking for the daily caloric requirement for one person, we are simply looking for a total of 2 x 279 calories = 558 calories.
