So I bought a packet of eat water slim noodles because I heard they only had 9 calories in a serving, but when I scanned the barcode to put it in my food diary it said one serving (100g) has 27 calories? What one should I believe 9 or 27? Help please!

    Does the package have the nutrition label on it? I would go by what the actual package said but with calories that low it shouldn't make too much of a difference.

    I think it's 9 calories per 100 gram serving, but the package is 270 grams ? (looking on the product website), So, there are nearly 3 servings in that pouch or container.

    For future reference: those are konjac noodles.

    aka:

    shirataki
    miracle
    pasta zero
    tofu plus
    etc

    You can probably find them for MUCH less elsewhere. Just FYI :)

    Different brands use different mixtures of konjac to other flours and range from '0' (really, more like 5) to 30 cal/pack (depending on whether they use the fibre in the calorie calculation and how many grams they count as a portion, etc)

    If you want to be absolutely certain, you can take the carbs x's 4 and the protein x's 4, add the two together, and that's the actual calories per serving... then multiply it by how many servings to get per bag.
