As written, 1990 kcal goes into the pot and 885 g of ingredients comes out as about 800 g of food: 249 kcal per 100 g. Cooking moves water and energy density is the score's biggest lever, so the dish is scored as cooked, not as an average of its parts. Every ingredient links to its food page, with the same data and score. The label's percentages are each macronutrient's share of the calories. The full formula.
