You live in the UK, so it should have those food labels, you know the pink, green, yellow ones now, that's on most things.

Tells yoiu about Fats, Proteins Carbs etc etc.

Basic way to work them out.

Most Proteins 4 calories per gram

Most Carbs, (Fibres, Sugars), 4 calories per gram.

Fats 9 calories per gram.

That should help you to work it out.
