How it is calculated
The formula or method behind the calculation.
To calculate fat or carbs in your portion, multiply the value per 100 g by the portion weight in grams and divide by 100. The same formula applies to protein.
FATSL leaves the result unavailable if an input is missing or a zero value would require division by zero.
