Your understanding, your calculations, your numbers in the post all are correct.

I would say, everything is correct.

With one exception: in Math and in Physics, we always use abbreviation "g" for grams,
and never write/(never use) gm or gms for this purpose.


What are the rules of writing "grams" on food items - - - I do not know.
