Hi,

Just wanted to check what the measurements are in the totals section (except for calories, I understand that bit!). I'm assuming its in grams, except for sodium which seems really high and so not sure how that is measured. Can anyone enlighten me?

Thanks

    Most are in grams. Sodium is in milligrams.

    Most are in grams like protein, carbs, sugar, fiber, and fat. Sodium, potassium and cholesterol are in milligrams. Vitamins and minerals are in percentages since that's how they're listed on nutrition panels. Calories are, well, calories.

    Grams... although the higher numbers like sodium are in milligrams.
