Subject: Calorie Calculation question with food I have a great understanding on nutrients, calories, etc in foods.
Understand something may say 1g fat, 4g carbs, 4g protein, and come out to 45 calories, because of rounding to whole numbers.
Recently I just bought this Healthy Grain Flatout Flatbread, which I love btw.
It states.
100 Calories 2.5g fat, 17g carbs, 9g protein When you calculate those numbers out, it comes out to 126.5 Calories. Now this does have 8g fiber as well. The package states "8 Net Carbs*, 1g Sugar"
It says Net Carbs = Total Carbs - Dietary Fiber - Sugar Alcohol = 8 Carbs.
Is this normal for calculating calories from carbs? Or just a marketing scheme? |
