I just ran this through a Hidden Carb Calculator and it came out totally off. So, I pulled out all the ingredients I used. I listed out the info I needed before hand. Then, I totalled up the numbers. Turns out, I had overestimated the calories by 100+ the first time around.
Since grams are usually small, rounding can have considerable effect especially when I was using 16 servings of certain items. So, I subtracted fat calories from total calories and set fat to zero to eliminate any error from rounding the fat content.
Then, I put the numbers into a Hidden Carb Calculator and came out with 7g Carbs. So, I changed the carb count to 7g. I took the fat calories, divided by the number listed in "Why Do Labels Lie" for calories/gram of fat to come up with 24g Fat. Using 24g for fat and 7g for Carbs, the Hidden Carb Calculator found 0 Hidden Carbs. I added the fat calories back into the calorie count and divided by 4 to reflect a per serving estimate.
Revised Estimates for Low-Carb Ice Cream:
272 Calories
24g Fat
7g Carbs
8g Protein
