I’m guessing there’s an error somewhere, because this doesn’t seem possible.
I can’t load the picture, may anyone can give me the whole nutritional facts on that chili oil jar?
Lazy copy paste, no guarantee any of this is right because I’m on mobile:

Oil is the thing you want to carry when you’re though-hiking and you want max calories/lb of weight carried. Obviously you can’t eat only oil but you can use it to make oil-heavy dishes such as spaghetti aglio e olio.
Seeing as how you can run a diesel engine on the oil component, yes. Very.
Oil 43g x 9 kcal/g = 387 kcal. Carbs 40 g x 4 kcal/g = 160 kcal. Protein 4 g x 4 kcal/g = 16 kcal. Total 387+160+16 = 563 kcal. Definitely different. Could it be that oil is 34 and not 43 g? With the oil actually ubeing a tad under the rule-of-thumb 9 kcal/g this might then add up.
Key word here is OIL.
You have to drink 3 litres of this each day to get your required calcium
It’s been rough, but my bones are in good shape
Who needs bones when you’ll be at the toilet all day?
That’s a bonus! Always ready for a colonoscopy.
Hey OP. I think those numbers are based off the 60grams not the 4tsp.
4tsp of olive oil is 18 grams. 60grams of olive oil would be about 500 calories. I would assume they weight similar.
And 4 tbsp would be triple 4 tsp, or 54 grams. Similar ballpark at least.
google says that 60grams is the common conversion for 4 tablespoons.
Grams are a measure of weight (well, mass if you want to be really specific). Tablespoons are a measure of volume. In order to do a proper comparison you need to know density.
Because metric plans things nicely, a gram is one milliliter of water. 4 tbsp is 59.15ml. So… Yeah, pretty damn close to 60, but again that’s when working with water. I would imagine chili flakes are a little less dense and might throw that calculation off a bit.
That’s my thought too, although 4tbsp would be a pretty hefty serving size so I’m betting their mistake was using tbsp when converging to grams (when they meant to use tsp) and then it’s likely correct from there.
The whole jar says 210g, so unless you’re supposed to use ~30% of the container, somebody messed up a conversion.
That’s about how much I use.
Oil is literally fat.
The only thing more calorically dense is alcohol.
Edit: my brain mixed the two. Fat is more dense than alcohol.
Four teaspoons isn’t very much though. Most oils and fats are about 60 calories per teaspoon, which would only be about 240 to 260 for the amount listed on the jar.
Are you sure its tsp and not Tsp?
Teaspoon is abbreviated to “tsp”, tablespoon is “tbsp”.
Not enough protein!
DAM that’s a salty boy! That sodium lol
French and english labels? Tabarnak 🇨🇦
The wildest part of Lao Gan Ma is sodium if you ask me. Some of the Chinese import ones are over 1000mg per serve, though the domestically made ones are a bit healthier. That said, you’re probably not using 4 tsp of the stuff in most things.

That’s hard when putting it on rice. So addicting, but yes, not good.
Is she the reason I havent been losing weight!
“oil”
I remember reading somewhere that uranium is calorie dense.
So if you’re trying to bulk up, have a lil’ uranium snack. As a treat!
The densest is yellow cake with frosting.
