[QUOTE="azure, post: 1513212, member: 39639"] This drives me mad too! I bought a fruit salad in a well-known high street shop, went to check the carbs and found it was given in miniscule writing per 100grams. That's when I eventually found the carbs because the whole nutritional info was written in one long sentence. So, having finally found the per 100g amount, I start looking for the weight of the fruit salad. It will be on the top of the carton, right? No. The back - ah....No! The side?? By this time, I'm getting a bit irritated and the poor fruit salad has been swung around and turned every which way! I finally find it, and then have to sit there and do the mental Maths to work out the amount of carbs in the pot. I like Maths but it's bl@@dy annoying to have to do it for every item of my lunch and, of course, the Maths isn't easy amounts. Type 1 carb counters might be a small part of the population, but surely anyone who's interested in nutritional info (eg calories) would want it given per portion too? [/QUOTE]
