Hi

Correct me if I am wrong, but I believe that the Canadian label list total fat in grams. One gram of fat equals ~9 calories

So, if they do list total fat in grams, just take that number and multiply it by nine and you now have "calories from fat".

The older U.S. Labels use to have the same problem but then eventually added "calories from fat".

Let me know if that helps
