[QUOTE="Deleted Account, post: 1702779"] The quoted carbs are [B]always [/B]an approximation. The carbs in a slice of cake, for example, may vary if you get a slice with more fruit in it. The carbs in fruit depends on the variety and conditions under which it was grown. The only way of telling exactly how many carbs are in something are to burn it and then weigh the carbon that remains. This feels like a waste of food so I just take the value quoted (making sure fibre is [B]not[/B] included) because, our ability to deal with the carbs depends on many things such as how much exercise we have done, how stressed we are, whether we are ill. Basically, there are too many unknowns to get hung up on a small % difference. As for whether stones and peel are included, I assume they are and once in a while weigh a stone to remind myself it had neglible weight although banana skins are significant. [/QUOTE]
