New from the Netherlands!

Hey everyone! I moved from California to the Netherlands about a year ago. I've been dieting for about 5 months now and have lost exactly 40 pounds !! I joined MFP to keep track of my calories and make sure I don't go above my calorie limit. I do weigh and calculate my food every day, so that is good. I also love the supportive community here and how everyone is so helpful !

LiftAndBalance

The last picture shows the calories for the unprepared product (onbereid product).

So 100 g of the flakes (dry weight, without anything else added) have 350 calories, 1.5 g fat (0.3 g saturated, 0.3 monounsaturated and 1 g polyunsaturated), 66 g carbs (1.5 g sugars, 13 g fiber), 12 g protein and 0.5 g salt (= 200 mg sodium).

The label is a bit confusing I think.

The other table (bereid product) is for the prepared flakes as per package instruction and so is the "per portion (per portie)" on the front (but the per 100 g on the front is obviously for the dry flakes).

Hope that helps

Thank you so much for your reply! I actually confused the threads and posted the wrong thread here LOL :P So I changed it to died and nutrition.

It is really confusing, even some people that read Dutch and were trying to help me are confused by it

Thank you so much for explaining it to me! I don't know why they would include the calories of it already prepared since it will vary drastically depending on what liquid you use. So 60 grams unprepared would be 200 calories?

I believe Brinta is around 330 calories per 100 grams. So would 60 grams be 180 calories?
