A calorie figure is only useful if you know what counts as one treat. Whole biscuits, broken pieces and variable-size strips may use different reference units.
What to check
| Check | What to verify |
|---|---|
| Unit | Find per piece, per gram or per package. |
| Size | Check the stated piece weight when provided. |
| Variation | Keep broken-piece estimates visibly approximate. |

A practical example
If a label says 20 kcal per whole biscuit, a handful of crumbs is not automatically one biscuit.
Before you decide
Record the label unit before using a treat count in a food diary.
