How do you caclulate how many grams of fat in one serving?
Calories are really a measure of heat.
You may recall from high-school biology that plants use light energy in the process of photosynthesis to produce carbohydrates, fats and proteins. Thus, food contains energy which is released and converted to other forms of energy when the chemical bonds between molecules are broken.
Typically, to measure the energy content of food, a method called 'direct calorimetry' is used.
The food, normally about 1 gram of it, is placed in a sealed chamber called a 'Bomb calorimeter' that has water surrounding it. The piece of food is then burned (oxidized) by an electrical current. As the food burns, the water temperature rises due to the heat. This rise in water temperature reflects the energy content of the food.
Not all fats in our diet has the same energy content. Some fatty acids have about 8.6 kcals/g whereas some longer chain fatty acids may have 9.6 kcal/g.
However, for the sake of simplicity, we generally say that 1 gram of fat contains 9 calories (carbohydrates and protein contain 4 calories).
Therefore, if the food you are wondering about says it contains 8 grams of fat for example, then you know it represents about 72 calories of energy, i.e.,
8g x 9kcal/g = 72 kcal
If it has 14 grams of fat, then it contains 126 calories (14 x 9 = 126), and so on...

Ok you could read all that. Or you could just multiply the number of grams you have by 9. All fats, multiplied by 9 gives you that amount in calories. However, if you want to find the amount of calories in one gram of protein of carbohydrates then multiply grams by 4.

How many calories burned in cycling 3 miles?
When it comes to burning calories, your heart rate is much more important than what it is that you are doing. If you can reach and sustain the same heart rate for the same amount of time you will burn pretty much the same amount of calories regardless of activity.
And you haven't said how hard and how long you go at it.
Now, let's say an average speed for casual riding is about 10 mph.
3 miles means you're done in about 20 minutes.
If you stay on nice roads, casual riding MIGHT let you burn 450 cals/hour.
But you're probably only doing about 20 minutes.
20 minutes is 1/3 hour, so you're looking at 1/3 of the hourly calorie burn = 150 cals.
That's about 1/3 of a cupcake's worth in calories.
