Calories in 20g of fat?

[Anonymous]

I'm making salmon pasta, the salmon sauce is a container of 180g and has 20g of fat. I know salmon is rich in fats, but I think that the added cream that is in the sauce makes ever more heavy...
Does anybody know how many calories would be within the container?

Rule of thumb:

1 gram of:
- Protein : 4 Calories
- Carbs: 4 Calories
- Fat: 9 Calories

If you do the math, 20g x 9 = 180 calories. Nevertheless, you NEED the fat, especially from fish. It's extremely beneficial for burning body fat and building muscle. Omega 3 oils are important as well.

Oops, read that wrong, I thought you meant the fat from actual salmon, not the sauce. The sauce may contain some undesired fats.

I know, plus I love salmon. It's just that I don't think salmon sauce which comes from a container will give me any of those good fats.

As long as there is no trans-fat in the product, a moderate amount is acceptable.

However if it has ANY amounts of trans-fat (even if it's 0,01), ditch it.

It doesn't state it unfortunately, I think I'm going to ditch it anyways I doubt there's any nutritional value in it. Thanks anyways

Fat contains 9 calories per gram, so that's 180 calories for 20 grams of fat.
