How we got the portion numbers

  1. The reference values are per 100 g. A portion of 150 g scales by 150 ÷ 100 = 1.5.
  2. Energy: 87 × 1.5 = 130.5 kcal — the same factor gives every other row in the portion column.

Check it backwards

130.5 kcal ÷ 1.5 = 87 kcal per 100 g — the reference value we started with.
