Hello All,

Question on bread
Here in Ireland a brand called Ormo is available (see link)
yourormo.com/dsp_productcategoryDetails.cfm/pageExt/ormoproduct/PCK/3
It is a type of buttermilk/Sodabread , the nutrition info states 17g carb per 100g
This seems very low as bread is normally around 50g carb per 100g
I am a bit wary as my daughter likes the bread but I could be going to low on the insulin as
Based on the nutrition info I would give 66% less insulin than normal bread

Any one any ideas ?

Thanks
Matt

People who are touchy.......feign indignation at the slightest thing. Hypocrites, bullies and cowards.
Nutrition Facts for ORMO Wheaten Bread. The link you posted. (Source: Livestrong.com)

Serving Size: 40g slice.
* Total Fat............... 0.8g
* Saturated Fat..........0.2g
* Sodium ................360mg
* Total Carbohydrate.. 14.8g
* Dietary Fiber.......... 2.6g
* Sugars ..................0.7g
* Protein ................3.4g

Therefore if a 40g slice contains 14.8g carbs then divide 14.8 by 40 which gives you carbs per gram.
That is 0.37g, so multiply that by 100 to give a total carb content of 37g per 100g weight.

oh dear it looks like the info on the packet is incorrect
i have a feeling they have put the 45g serving size info info the 100g column
and then divided the 100g into a serving size
the packet states 45g portion contain 7.65g carb
