[QUOTE="Bananas 2, post: 1903434, member: 468065"] 345kcal (Waitrose) vs 305kcal (generic) Fiber is close, yet they show half the available carb. Protein is similar, but they show more fat. the Waitrose product discloses [B]"Fairtrade ingredients total 97%"[/B] What is the other 3%? Also disclosed: [B][SIZE=4]--------------------------------- Allergy advice[/SIZE][/B] [LIST] [*]May Contain Cereals Containing Gluten [*]May Contain Milk [*]May Contain Nuts [*]May Contain Soya [/LIST] ----------------------------------- This one here agrees with the first data I posted.... but shows lower calories. hmm... [URL]https://nutritiondata.self.com/facts/sweets/5471/2[/URL] Math check: there are 9 kcal per g of fat there are 4 kcal per g of each protein and carb (25*4) + (9*14) + (20*4) = 306 (this jives with the first set of data I posted for kcal to macronutrients, and pretty much discredits [I]nutritondata.self [/I] kcal amount) for Waitrose: (12.5*4) + (22.6*9) + (22.5*4) = 343.4 (close enough) curious how they are getting half the carbs...
