The original word calorie meant the energy to raise one gram of water by 1°C. The calories in food
are actually kilocalories, but those terms when referring to food tend to be used interchangeably.

You can use Kcals to calculate points. The term "fat" on products here generally refers to the total
fat content (i.e. if there is no other information or breakdown of the fat content in the product).
WW suggests that as a guide to figure out saturated fat when you only have the total fat content,
divide the total fat by half.

Work it out using Kcal, and saturated fats. If these are not mentioned as a separate item, use half
the total fat content for the sum. This will ensure you err on the side of counting half a point to
much for some foods, rather than too little.
