My packet of steel-cut oats says there are 391 calories in 100g and when I measured 2/3 of a cup it weighed 100g, meaning 1/2 cup weighs 66.7g. Therefore, according to my scales, 1/2 a cup (66.7g) equals (391 x 0.667) 260 calories.

WTF?!? how can my calculation be 105 cals over that from calorieking.com ???

Great, so now we have three sources with different figures...

calorieking.com says 1/2 cup = 155 KCals
My packet says 1/2 cup =260 KCals
Arrowhead Mills says 1/2 cup = 320 KCals

My advice would just be to read the nutritional info on the label of the brand you buy.

Well, they do call me 'iron-stomach' because I'm always eating.

Mybe her brand does not have nutritional info, hence the original question? I normally use calorieking while on a hurry and need to look up something quick... if I have the chance, I always take the value from the package I am using...

If its too much hassle we can always have some waffles and pancakes and call it even
