On nutrition labels, is the total number of calories equal to the Calories plus the Calories from fat?

To find the total calories do you have to add the Calories and calories from fat or are the calories from fat included in the calories? (sorry if that sounds a little confusing)

the calories from fat are included in the calories! they only tell you the calories from fat if you are concentrating on a low fat diet.

The total calories includes the calories from fat.

The information regarding fat content is there for people who are seeking low fat foods.

And, what is more important than the calories from fat, is the percentage of total calories that come from fat. In general, you shouldn't regularly eat foods that have more than 25 percent of calories from fat (fat calories divided by total calories all multiplied by 100)

Of course, there are exceptions, such as healthy oils like Olive or Canola which are 100 percent fat.

they're include. see > TOTAL calories. get it?
