Rich liquids cause 50–200% portion errors (Almiron-Roig et al., Appetite 2013). Per 100 g: 197 kcal, 21.3 g fat, 2 g protein. Coconut cream is calorie-dense — canned portions vary by brand.
How should I track Coconut milk, canned?
The best way to track Coconut milk, canned is by weight, not volume. A 200 g serving of yogurt or cheese varies in density between brands and fat levels, so the same portion can differ by 20–40 calories. Research shows people underestimate calorie-dense dairy portions by up to 50% when eyeballing (Almiron-Roig et al., Appetite 2013). A kitchen scale keeps things honest. Also check whether the label lists values for the product as sold or as prepared — some powdered or concentrated dairy products show very different numbers once mixed.
