[QUOTE="MrsA2, post: 2263880, member: 521715"] I know calories are worked out because the food is burned and it is the energy given off, but how is a carb calculated? I ask because I was just looking at the carb values for some 85% dark chocolate and was amazed to find that 3 varieties showed carbs per 100g as 16%, 43% and 64% respectively. Yet each only shows cocoa and sugar as ingredients, and the sugar cannot be more than 15% These are huge variations and would really impact on a very low carb diet and it got me thinking So how is the carb value of any food worked out?
