Meat from the butchers

I'm confused, what "slimming products" do you get at a butcher? Is it meat of some kind?

And I don't see calories on that label, which is what I'd be looking for.

Actually, I suppose you can multiply the carbs and protein by 4 (4 calories per gram) and the total fat by 9 (9 cals per gram) to get the calories per 100g weighed out portion.

Massive cross-post while I was doing the math, but see below:

Yes, easiest if it has calories.

If not, you can find the type of meat at the USDA site and then find the analogous entry on MFP, but to help more than that I'd have to know what type of meat it is. Is it sold as a "slimming product"?

Hmm, looking at it further it has more carbs than meat would, so what is it? [Edit: like I said, cross-post, sausage makes sense]

As a comparison, raw skinless boneless chicken breast is (per 100 g)

Water: 73.9 g
Protein: 22.5 g
Fat:2.62 g
Carbs:0.0 g

Cals in the chicken breast is 120, which is 90 from protein and 24 from fat (not sure why it's a bit more, than that would suggest, but it's close).

So for your product, I'd guess you could do the same and it comes to about 103 cal per 100 g (but as noted above with the chicken the actual cals seem to be a bit higher).

It looks like the label is for 64 grams of sausage. So:

14.2 grams of protein. Protein has 4 calories per gram, so 14.2 x 4 = 56.8

2.3 grams fat. Fat = 9 calories per gram. 2.3 x 9 = 20.7

6.3 grams carbs. Carbs = 4 calories per gram. 6.3 x 4 = 25.2

56.8 + 20.7 + 25.2 = 102.5 calories

That sounds about right for 64g of uncooked meat/lowfat sausage.

Just as the first ones I found, these are pork and chilli sausages and have less 'carbs' in them than your butcher has analysed and the calories in those are 259 per 100g

Is there a reason why he deems it guilt free (although I hate that sort of phasing)? Is it because they have less meat/fat per 100g than supermarket ones or more rusk/bread than supermarket ones?

Are they sitting in some kind of liquid in the package, or do they seem very soft and loose compared to standard sausage? That just seems like a pretty high proportion of "moisture". If they're sitting in liquid in the package, I would imagine that the weight of the liquid is counted toward the 100 g that has the 103 calories, and if you drain it and only weigh the sausage, the calorie count would be too low.

I actually only use sausage as a flavoring in things, so get away with quite a small amount (which is good since it's normally high cal, even the chicken ones, by comparison with many other thing). Exception is brats, which I'll eat on a bun, but just one (and mostly just for special occasions/get-togethers maybe 2x/year).

The cals for pork sausage seem strangely low to me too, and I'm thinking Lynn may have a thought. It's hard to believe it would be lower cal than chicken breast or even a lean cut of pork on its own. Sure, the chilis are lower cal and add some bulk, but you typically need some fat for sausage.
