Be sure to look at what they consider a serving size is when you do this. I've seen cases where you have something that is packaged as a single serving, but the nutritional facts say the serving size is half of that. I think this is just criminal. Like anyone would eat only half an instant ramen or whatever.
In the USA, this was supposed to be fixed in 2016 when the new nutrition facts label was introduced (the redesign that increased the font size of the calories).

Of course, there's still companies that skirt the rules.
Or just always look at the 100g column.
