I bought a box of Aldi's Fit & Active brand of turkey burgers today and once I got them home I noticed the calories don't add up.
Calories 130 Sodium 75 mg
Total Fat 10 g Potassium 0 mg
Saturated 1 g Total Carbs 0 g
Polyunsaturated 0 g Dietary Fiber 0 g
Monounsaturated 0 g Sugars 0 g
Trans 0 g Protein 24 g
Cholesterol 80 mg
Now correct me if I'm wrong please but since fat is 9 cals per gram and protein is 4 wouldn't it be (10*9)+(24*4) and then make it more around 190 calories RATHER than 130??

They dont use the 449 system they use Atwater system to calculate the calories which comes off with different measurements.
They will basically use whichever gives a better 'look' as being 'healthier' even if its just the same, if both systems where used and you were concious of calories and they were different boxes, which would you buy =]0 -
