[QUOTE="Mr_Pot, post: 2263887, member: 216415"] Calories are a property that needs to be measured or calculated but carbohydrate is one of the constituents of food so it needs to be separated out to be measured. If you remove water, fat, protein and fibre, what remains is carbohydrate and can be weighed. The carbohydrate value of processed food is the sum of the carbohydrate in the ingredients. [/QUOTE]
