The first line gives the standard formula to calculate calories:
Quote:
Calories = Carbs x 4 + Protein x 4 + Fat x 9 + Alcohol x 6.93
|
The second line fills in the values to the formula:
Quote:
Calories = 157 = 15 * 4 + 4 * 4 + 9 * 9 + 0 * 6.93 = 157
|
So it's multiplying zero grams of alcohol by 6.93, which comes to zero.
That part is fine, since it does it for all food items if there's no alcohol.
So the first number, 15 is filled in for carbs. Then come 4 grams of protein, and then 9 grams of fat, plus zero grams of alcohol.
So I take it that the label stated 15 g for carbs, 4 g for protein and 9 g for fat, to a total of 120 calories.
If that's what the label declared, then they're off by more than 20% as it doesn't add up as declared.
