[QUOTE="Mr_Pot, post: 1889361, member: 216415"] The calories and carbs in food is also approximate, particularly in fresh food. Meat may have more or less fat content, fruit can be more or less ripe, vegetables can have more or less water or be more or less fibrous. Most nutritional tables only have a generic name for foods, they will say "apple" for example, not a very sour Granny Smith or a very sweet Golden Delicious. However, despite the inaccuracy the figures are still a good guide in comparing foods, whatever the exact percentage of carbs in turnips the fact that it is about a tenth of that in potatoes is very useful.
