Usually something like bomb calorimetry (they burn it and calculate how much energy is given off).

Yeah, we kinda did something like that when I was in highschool, burnt peanuts etc in biology class-ha, education at it's best. As far as calculating how many calories a piece of food has you'll pretty much have to do it yourself. Try and be as accurate as possible from reading the nutritional info on packets. Remember, 1g of carbs/protein equals 4 calories, and 1g of fat is 9 calories. Good luck.
