High calorie
This food has 6.5 kcal per gram (654 kcal per 100 g). The US CDC calls foods of 4 to 9 kcal per gram "high energy dense" (medium 1.5 to 4, low 0.6 to 1.5, very low under 0.6). No US or EU food label rule defines "high calorie", so we use the CDC's scale. Source: CDC, Low-Energy-Dense Foods and Weight Management (2008), archived copy, 7 May 2024. More in calorie density.

How we label fat
Our own scale, stricter than official labels: a food with less than 10% of its calories from fat is labelled Low fat, 10% to under 20% Medium fat, 20% or more High fat. The label describes how the food's calories are made up; official US and UK labels use other limits.
