    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

    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
