Thomas' English Muffin: Nutrition Facts Error?

sheltrk

*SOLVED* When the fiber is subtracted from the total carbs, the math works out... Thanks, all.

Thomas' Light Multi-Grain English Muffins:
Perhaps I am confused, but I think this nutritional label is in error:
http://thomasbreads.com/Our-Products/English-Muffins/Hearty-Muffins/Thomas-Light-Multi-Grain-English-Muffins/Default.aspx



The label states 100 calories per serving. But, with 26 g of carbs, that's already over 100 calories. Tack on 5 g of protein and 1 g of fat, and we should be somewhere in the neighborhood of 133 calories.

Granted:
1. There is probably some rounding error, and
2. I'm not worried about eating a whopping 33 calories more than I expected with my breakfast, But...

This just seems like a rather glaring error. Am I missing something?

Save for later.

Subtract the fiber from the carbs. 26 - 8 = 18. 18 X 4 = 72. 5g pro X 4 = 20. 20 + 72 = 92. 1g fat X 9 = 9. 20 + 72 + 9 = 101. Pretty close to 100 calories.

I'm in the US and all the Thomas English Muffins come in containers of 6, not 4. So maybe there is an error if you are in the states?

I am NO expert, but read somewhere that some fibres can be classed as 'non digestible' and therefore do not add to the calorie count - noticed there was a fair amount of fibre in one muffin so could that be why?

Sorry if this is completely wrong - sure someone who reads this will know if I'm right or totally off :P

you ignored the fiber.
