Huh, do tell. I thought the whole point of nutritional labels is that they estimate the kcal intake from heuristically determined values for the contained fats, carbs, and proteins, i.e., we get 4kcal per gram of carbs and proteins and 9kcal per gram of fat.
Iirc they estimate the kcal by blasting it with fire and seeing how much comes out. Or something similar. They don’t really get into how well the human body digests and uses it.
Calorie counting can be eye opening. That said, calories from nuts in particular don’t seem to be absorbed very well
