[QUOTE="HSSS, post: 2020994, member: 480869"] “As per your example, Yes that is simple, It's when the weight is 465g or other 'odd' numbers that it gets time consuming“ So how is multiplying or diving by some other randomly manufacturers chosen portion size (if you don’t conveniently want that exact portion size) any easier? I’d rather do multiples and fractions of 100 than 465. At least this way we can easily compare one item to another knowing that a like amount of each is higher or lower. Eg two pots of yoghurt (edited:)) on the shelf. Regardless of portion size we choose to have we can instantly see which is the lower carb one. If they only did portion sizes but awkwardly had different chosen portion sizes then there’s all sorts of mathematical contortions to get them both to an equal size in order to compare. Fortunately in the uk as well as the per 100 amounts most/many products do the per portion so we can all be happy. Edited from mayo to yoghurt to save Jim’s sanity [/QUOTE]
