It appears that the 20% rule only applies to " products (e.g., fruit drinks, juices, and confectioneries) with a sugars content of 90 percent or more of total carbohydrate." What am I missing?

You are talking about the % of daily value (vitamins, minerals, fat, carb, etc.), which is based on a 2000 calorie diet. The calories in an item don't care who is eating them.

I am comfortable with your explanation at this level. Thank you. ETA: I know the person would be misunderstanding the numbers. Your explanation should clear up that misunderstanding.

I agree its helpful to KNOW there is a margin of error. However, to put a number on it that is not entirely accurate could cause someone to decrease their caloric intake to dangerous levels. I am 5"0' so 1200 isn't necessary unhealthy for me BUT if I was 5"0' and was told my calories are inflated by 20%, I may cut down to…

The calories contained in an item do not change based on the consumer's caloric needs.

While this is true, it may not be accurate to say that everything is up to 20% off.

in FDA gives a 20% leeway for accuracy on nutrition labels. Comment by Jess__I__Can July 2014
The 20% difference is actually referring to what restaraunts say is in their food. And its not so much that they allow 20% and above that they dont allow. Its that they take these companies at their word, and in one study it was shown to be up to 20% more than what was listed.

in FDA gives a 20% leeway for accuracy on nutrition labels. Comment by Jess__I__Can July 2014
True, although the 20% refers to restaraunt and other prepared meals (Starbucks, Chipotle, etc.), where there is a margin of error due to the human factor.

This ^ minus the water part. Water may not make you lose weight but for some people it makes them feel "fuller." I know this because I am one of those people.
