On the Nutrition Facts labels, is "Calories from fat" in ADDITION to the Total Calories or part of it?

So say a McDonalds Sausage Burrito is 300 calories and 140 Calories from fat. Is that 300 calories total or 300+140 =440 calories total?

No...the food item in question contains a total of 300 calories.

Of the 300 calories, 140 of them are fat calories, and 160 come from other sources (protein, carbohydrate).

Anything with close to 50% of the caloric content coming from fat is probably avoided in most circumstances, btw.

They are part of it meaning almost half of the calories from the sausage burrito is from fat

There are 300 calories total. Of those 300, 140 are from fat.

You don't add them, they are already included.

300 calories total

300 total

Included not separate.

the 140 is part of the 300
