Answer is: 156 kilocalories are in a serving of this food
15 g carbohydrate has 4 kcal/g · 15 g = 60 kcal.
15 g protein has 4 kcal/g · 15 g = 60 kcal.
4 g fat has 9 kcal/g · 4 g = 36 kcal.
400 ml water has 0 kcal.
25 mg vitamin C has 0 kcal.
total
kilocalories = 60 kcal + 60 kcal + 36 kcal + 0 kcal + 0 kcal.
total
kilocalories = 156 kcal.
