 No, there really are 1600 calories in a cup of butter. 1 tablespoon = 100 calories and there are 16 tablespoons in a cup. I'm not sure where sapalot got the extra 28 calories but this is fairly correct :(

 I signed up to try this site but unfortunately the data is very unpredictable. I suppose it's all user-entered...? Not really a good idea. Butter has 100 calories per tablespoon, not 120 calories per half tablespoon. Nearly all fats have about 100 calories per tablespoon: oil, peanut butter, mayonnaise, butter, salad dressing, etc. If I have to be knowledgeable about food before I can use the site, it rather defeats the purpose, doesn't it? =) Oh well.
