Comparing oatmeal, rice pudding, and baked oats requires a common reference amount. A larger serving may show more calories even when its per-100-gram figure is lower. Those numbers answer different questions and should remain clearly labeled.

What matters in the kitchen

For arithmetic conversion, multiply the per-100-gram value by serving weight in grams and divide by 100. For example, 120 calories per 100 grams would give 300 calories in 250 grams. These illustrative numbers do not describe a specific recipe in the collection and are not product data.

Putting it into practice

Check whether the serving weight describes the prepared mixture or a raw ingredient. The website carries over nutrition from the source cards; regional substitutions have not automatically been recalculated. Use the figures as a reference and review changes against actual ingredients and finished yield.
