When people first discover ThinSlim Foods creations they begin with astonishment and delight and inevitable lean towards skepticism about the nutritional information.<\/p>\n
Fortunately the ThinSlim Foods creations have been lab tested to verify the nutritional information.\u00a0 For a more in depth explanation we will use the ThinSlim Foods Muffins as an example.<\/p>\n
\n
Step 1: The serving size of the product is 56g. So this is the starting point.<\/p>\n
Step 2 (fat):The total fat content of the product is 2.19% of the total product. Since the total product is 56 grams, this means the fat content is 2.19% of 56 grams or 1.226 grams.<\/p>\n
Step 3(protein): The total protein content of the product is 9.99% of the total product. Since the total product is 56 grams, this means the protein content is 9.99% of 56 grams or 5.59 grams.<\/p>\n
Step 4(carbohydrates): This part has multiple steps because the type of carbohydrates is important to the total calories and net carbs.<\/p>\n
4a) The total carbohydrates are 35.5 % of the total product. Since the total product is 56 grams, this means the total carbohydrate content is 35.5% of 56 grams or 19.82 grams.<\/p>\n
4b) The total sugar alcohol content, in this case all erythritol, is 18.7% of the total product. Since the total product is 56 grams, this means the total erythritol content is 18.7% of 56 grams or 10.47 grams.<\/p>\n
4c) The insoluble fiber content is 13.69% of the total product. Since the total product is 56 grams, this means the total fiber content is 13.69% of 56 grams or 7.66 grams.<\/p>\n
Step 5: We now need to calculate the calories from the collected nutritional profile.<\/p>\n
5a) Fat has 9 calories per gram. The 1.226 grams of fat contribute 11.03 calories to the total.<\/p>\n
5b) Protein has 4 calories per gram. The 5.59 grams of protein contribute 22.37 calories to the total.<\/p>\n
5c) Carbohydrates have different calories per gram depending on the type of carbohydrate.<\/p>\n
Erythritol carbohydrates have .2 calories per gram therefore the erythritol contributes 2.09 calories to the total (.2 calories*10.47 grams of erythritol). Depending on whom you ask, Erythritol actually has a calorie per gram value of .2 or 0.<\/p>\n
Insoluble fiber has 0 calories per gram therefore these contribute 0 calories to the total.<\/p>\n
There are 1.68 grams of carbohydrates left which are 4 calories per gram therefore these contribute 6.72 calories to the total.<\/p>\n
6) Combine the total calories of all the nutritional components and the calories come to 42.25 calories (11.03+22.37+2.09+0+6.74)<\/p>\n
7) Based on labeling laws, any amounts under 50 need to be rounded to the nearest 5. So the calorie count of 42.25 is rounded to 40 calories per muffin.<\/p>\n
8 ) The net carbohydrates are calculated by subtracting the erythritol and total fiber from the total carbohydrates: 19.82 – 7.66 – 10.47 = 1.68 grams of net carbohydrates.<\/p>\n
