Are You Sure It’s Fat Free
Introduction Food industry misleads us by calculating the blubber topic in packaged provender on weight basis whereas the generative content (having to do more with the hot value of a food item and not its weight) actually has to be calculated on the basis of the kilocalorie value of the food item. So, the calorie basis is what has to be applied to know how much fill out our food items actually carry. Here are three interesting eye-openers Breakfast oatmeal (Single serving = 45 g) Calories in a mavin serving = one hundred sixty Fat content is 2 g 1 g of gamey has 9 calories 2 g of fat = 2 * 9 = 18 calories.The fat content is (18/160) * snow = 11. 25 % Protein content is 1. 8 g 1 g of protein has 4 calories 1. 8 g of protein = 1. 8 * 4 = 7. 2 calories The protein content is (7. 2/160) * 100 = 4. 5% Lunch Raisin Bran munch (Single serving = 60 g) Calories in a single serving = one hundred ninety Fat content is 1 g 1 g of fat has 9 calories The fat content is (9/ one hun dred ninety) * 100 = 4. 74 % Protein content is 3 g 1 g of protein has 4 calories 3 g of protein = 3 * 4 = 12 calories The protein content is (12/190) * 100 = 6. 32% Dinner vanilla Yogurt (Single serving = 225 g) Calories in a single serving = cx Fat content is 2 g g of fat has 9 calories 2 g of fat = 2 * 9 = 18 calories The fat content is (18/110) * 100 = 16. 36 % Protein content is 5 g 1 g of protein has 4 calories 5 g of protein = 5 * 4 = 20 calories The protein content is (20/110) * 100 = 18. 18% Now, see what the food industry calculations would contrive been Breakfast Oatmeal (Single serving = 45 g) Fat content is 2 g The fat content is (2/45) * 100 = 4. 44 % Protein content is 1. 8 g The protein content is (1. 8/45) * 100 = 4% Lunch Raisin Bran labor (Single serving = 60 g) Calories in a single serving = 190 Fat content is 1 g The fat content is (1/60) * 100 = 1. 7 % Protein content is 3 g The protein content is (3/60) * 100 = 5% Dinner Vanilla Yogurt (Single serving = 2 25 g) Calories in a single serving = 110 Fat content is 2 g The fat content is (2/225) * 100 = 0. 89 % Protein content is 5 g The protein content is (5/225) * 100 = 2. 22% Conclusion The above calculations speak for themselves. The actual fat/protein contents in packaged food stuffs are much more than what the food industry claims. This is misleading. The nutrition experts must enlighten the general everyday about this distorted information and help all towards better health.
