Where the calories come from
Calories come from three macronutrients: protein and carbohydrate at 4 kcal per gram, fat at 9 kcal per gram. For salami (dry-cured pork) the split is:
- Protein: 22.6 g × 4 = 90 kcal — 23% of calories
- Carbohydrates: 1.6 g × 4 = 6 kcal — 2% of calories
- Fat: 33.7 g × 9 = 303 kcal — 76% of calories
- Most of the energy in salami (dry-cured pork) comes from fat (76% of calories).
- With 22.6 g of protein per 100 g it counts as a high-protein food.
- That is 5.5 g of protein per 100 kcal — a useful number when protein is your target.
- It is high in sodium: 2,260 mg per 100 g.
- For 200 kcal you can eat about 50 g.
What actually changes the number
Dry salami is over 400 kcal per 100 g because curing removes water and concentrates the fat. A thin slice is 40 kcal, and a charcuterie board rarely stops at three slices.
How accurate are these numbers?
The values on this page are reference averages from the USDA FoodData Central database (SR Legacy release), measured on samples of salami as sold and prepared in the United States. Your portion will differ: produce varies by variety and ripeness, meat by cut and trim, and anything cooked by the fat and water it gained or lost.
For most foods the per-100 g figure is reliable to within about 10%. The larger uncertainty is almost always the weight of what is on your plate and the cooking fat you cannot see — the two things worth checking before you worry about the database.
