[QUOTE="brassyblonde900, post: 1613271, member: 445897"] I don't trust any of the books or labels. I reweigh and I use the USDA [URL]https://ndb.nal.usda.gov/ndb/foods/show/2305?manu=&fgcd=&ds=[/URL] They do their own testing so are more accurate. So many times I look up a nutrient value and I see that what the manufacturer has listed is so off the mark. I am very precise with nutrient value. For me, it has dire consequences to understate things like Carbs or Sodium. as I am eating the ketogenic way, and I retain water if I eat over 2000mg of sodium a day. That Papaya is 10.82grams of carbs for 100grams so 80grams should be 8.66grams. Papaya being a tropical fruit they do tend to be high in sugar. I also know it has quite a high water content, so its lower than most but certainly not 4grams of carbs for 80grams. There USDA food database has an app for mobile devices too. [/QUOTE]
