- eru 17y ago> 1.5x as much sodium as it does calories Unit mismatch? Do you assume mols of sodium?
- starkfist 17y agoyes, unit mismatch. calories x 1.5 mg sodium. for instance, I just had a bag of cheetos from the vending machine. 200 calories, 360 mg sodium. probably not great.

- eru 17y agoOK. I stick to SI units whenever possible. Avoids confusion. Are cheetos a very `light' snack? I just took some "Hula Hoops" out of our vending machine and that 34g pack had almost 1000 times the number of calories you report. The "Hula Hoops" have 727 kJ / 174 kcal and 0.3g Sodium, and they also report a "salt equivalent" of 0.8g.
- amanfredi 17y agoIn the US, calories on a package are always reported as kcal, so they are approximately equal.
