in Food and Nutrition
I'm planning my meals for tomorrow and I found myself in a little bit of a pickle: I feel like the nutrition info on the package is waaay off (I'm planning on using frozen but pre-cooked prawns) with only 12 g of protein and 52 kcal per 100 g. I can't find similiar amounts anywhere in the Internet and in MFP database. Which info should I trust more: the one on the package or the general one for prawns?
The question may seem stupid but it's a difference of about 10g of protein and that is huge for me ;)

    Scan it and weigh out the serving you want.

    The package. That's the manufacturer's published information and is likely to be from testing their specific product instead of general information.
