Not so hard to calculate. It’s still stupid though, that they don’t have to print the values per 100g, as they do in Europe. That makes it really easy to compare two products with different package sizes.
The value per serving is mostly useless, as a serving is just some made up amount, usually tiny to make the product look healthier. For example, a serving size of crisps could be 20g, which is not even a handful.
There’s 2.5 servings per bag, the serving size is listed as 2tbsp, there’s 190 calories in 2tbsp. So calories in the entire bag is just 2.5 * 190 calories
That seems very straightforward, where is the confusion?
What’s the calorie count in one bag then?

Servings are almost always around 1 oz, except for snack foods.
