Peas are a lean, high-fiber legume, but their fat content still matters for anyone tracking macros, building a meal plan, or following a low-fat diet. This pea fat per 100g calculator converts the fat in a specific serving into the standard per-100g figure used on nutrition labels, so you can compare your peas against typical values, log your intake with confidence, and see how much of your serving’s calories come from fat.
Use it for green peas, split peas, black-eyed peas, chickpeas, or snow peas. Enter your serving weight and fat value from a label or tracking app, and the tool returns fat per 100 grams, plus a comparison against USDA reference values. Dietitians, students, and meal-preppers can use it to check whether a product is higher in fat than expected, or simply to understand portion-level fat in everyday legume dishes.
⚙️ Pea Fat Per 100g Calculator
Enter a serving of peas to convert it to grams of fat per 100 g and compare it with typical variety values.

Quick Start: How to Use This Tool
This calculator is designed for anyone who wants a standard per-100g fat figure from a serving-sized value. Start by weighing your peas in the same form you plan to eat, especially if you are comparing cooked vs raw peas. Then look up the fat content for that exact serving size — either from the product nutrition label, a food diary, or a nutrient database. Enter those two numbers, choose a variety for comparison, and press Calculate. You’ll immediately see the fat per 100 g, the fat calories in your serving, and how your value compares with typical USDA data.
- Weigh or measure your serving of peas (for example, 160 g of cooked green peas).
- Find the total fat in that serving (for example, 0.35 g).
- Enter the weight and fat value into the calculator.
- Select the pea variety that matches your food.
- Press Calculate. Use the result for meal logging or label checks.
How the Calculation Works
Nutrition labels in many countries show fat per 100 grams, but some labels, apps, and recipes give fat per serving. To convert, divide the fat in your serving by the serving weight, then multiply by 100:
Fat provides 9 kilocalories per gram, so the tool also multiplies fat by 9 to show the calories that come from fat, both in your serving and per 100 grams. This can be helpful for low-fat diets, calorie budgeting, and understanding how much of a pea dish’s calories are actually from legumes versus added cooking fats.
Worked Examples
Example 1 — Green peas from a food label. A package states one serving is 130 g and contains 0.3 g fat. Calculation: (0.3 ÷ 130) × 100 = 0.23 g fat per 100 g. This is close to the typical cooked green pea value of 0.22 g per 100 g. The serving’s fat calories are 0.3 × 9 = 2.7 kcal.
Example 2 — Split pea soup with added oil. A 250 g bowl of soup contains 4.5 g fat, much of it from oil. Calculation: (4.5 ÷ 250) × 100 = 1.80 g fat per 100 g. This is over four times higher than plain cooked split peas, showing how added fats can change the per-100g profile.
Reference Data: Typical Fat in Common Peas
The table below lists approximate fat values for plain peas from USDA FoodData Central. Use them as a benchmark; actual products vary.
| Pea type | Form | Typical fat per 100 g |
|---|---|---|
| Green peas | Cooked / boiled | 0.22 g |
| Green peas | Raw | 0.40 g |
| Split peas | Cooked / boiled | 0.40 g |
| Black-eyed peas | Cooked / boiled | 0.55 g |
| Chickpeas | Cooked / boiled | 2.59 g |
| Snow peas | Raw | 0.20 g |

Factors Affecting Fat Accuracy
Several factors can make your per-100g fat value differ from typical values. Added fats are the biggest one: butter, olive oil, cream, bacon, or coconut milk in a pea recipe will raise fat well above the natural level. Canned peas may include oil or seasoning; check the ingredient list. Maturity and variety also matter — mature dried peas and chickpeas tend to have more fat than fresh green peas. Cooking method usually doesn’t change the fat content much unless fat is added during cooking. Finally, label rounding can skew small numbers: in some countries, servings with less than 0.5 g fat may be listed as 0 g, which makes per-100g calculations unreliable for tiny servings. Use a larger serving size to reduce the effect of rounding.
If you track multiple low-fat plant foods, the same serving-to-100g logic applies to other vegetables. For comparison, see the cauliflower fat per 100g calculator and the mushroom fat per 100g calculator.
