How do I calculate the nutritional value per can?
Q: How do I calculate the nutritional value per can?
Using grams is recommended when converting between serving size and can as the ounces have rounding built into conversion formulas. (5 oz. is actually 1.67 3 oz. servings, but per FDA regulations, the reported value rounds to 1.5 servings per can.)
Divide the listed nutritional value by 85 (grams per serving) and multiply the result by 142 (grams per can) to get the total amount per can.
Here are some helpful examples:
Elite Wild Tuna (Skipjack) has 24 grams of protein per 85g serving and 40 grams of protein per can. The calculation is: (24g/85)*142g = 40 g protein.
Wild Ahi Yellowfin Tuna has 26 grams of protein per 85 gram serving and 43 grams of protein per can. The calculation is: (26g/85)*142g = 43 g protein.
